Thank you Kelso parents who participated in the community survey! We had an excellent response to the survey. Thirty lucky survey participants have won a $5 gift card to Starbucks and will be receiving it in the mail this week. Your participation shows that Kelso kids are worth it!!
The Daily News - Unique alliance spreads anti-drinking message to kids - Studies show that parental influence is the primary reason children choose not to drink — “and parents don’t know that,” Goldy said. “We’re saying: ‘Parents, you have an opportunity to talk to your kids about this.

Unique partnership aims to reduce underage drinking in Cowlitz County
Posters for the Social Norms campaign...watch for them. You will see some of them in the video that will be played at local theaters starting Dec. 11th.
In 2006 The Kelso School District received a federal grant to reduce underage drinking in Huntington Middle School students, and the Kelso community as a whole. From there, a group of volunteer community members were asked to form a coalition to participate in the process of the grant.
The mission of the coalition is to reduce substance use among youth in the Kelso Community through relationship building, advocacy, empowerment, and education.
