OTHER PREVENTION-RELATED DISCOVERY HUNTS:
Great Family Discussions! This has been a great way to help our kids and myself talk about drugs. Most challenges are quick and easy and led to important discussions about staying away from any type of drugs. ~KoriAnn A
I really enjoyed the adventures on the White Ribbon week challenge that allowed the kids to exercise their creativity in conjunction with the educational ones like the make your own commercial adventure. ~Kathryn E.
I personally like how these Ribbon Week Hunts helped me as the parent see what the kids understood and thought about the subject of the Ribbon Week Hunt. The follow-up missions help us keep the conversation going. ~Dana G.

Through My Discovery Destination, we were able to focus our White Ribbon Week on fun, family centered activities, not just at school lessons. Throughout the week families competed in competitions and won prizes. It was the first time that students came to school and were talking about our White Ribbon initiatives in the hallway with their peers. It was exciting to involve parents at home in these discussions in a safe and knowledge based way. In all of my years of administration, I have never seen a White Ribbon Week so successful both at school and at home. We have thoroughly enjoyed this great program . . .``
