An Alaska National Guard member delivers an anti-drug and tobacco message to students at Klatt Elementary School

Members of the Alaska National Guard say attending a Klatt Elementary School assembly will result in students deciding to say no to drugs and tobacco products. The gathering, which also included representatives from the American Lung Association, the Drug Enforcement Administration, Anchorage Police and Alaska State Troopers, also delivered an anti-bullying message. What would be a surprise to students Monday came as school leaders wrapped up Red Ribbon Week, the longest-running drug and violence prevention program in the United States.
