A rally was held at lunchtime in the flagpole courtyard. Students signed and added their handprints to a large-scale pledge against meth. They also learned about the drug’s dangers and took part in anti-meth games and activities.

Student government representatives took photos, collected petition signatures and passed out methproject.org wristbands. After school, Konawaena high- and middle-school students waved signs at the corner of Hawaii Belt and Konawaena School roads.
