Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE)
Our goal is to equip all SCUSD students - with an intentional focus on grades 6th through 12th graders – with a better understanding of the danger of tobacco use and the impact on themselves and the community.
Through our collaboration with our partners, SCUSD students have the opportunity to engage in fun and exciting activities both on their sites and within their communities:
- Epic Bloom
- PRO Youth & Families,
- La Familia Counseling Center, and
- Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE)
