In a partnership with the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office and Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers, middle and high school students participated in a contest to produce video Public Service Announcements to decrease and end teen vaping. The Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers Stop the Vape Video Contest Winners were recognized at the May 8, 2023, School Board meeting.
“On behalf of Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers (ECCS), we are incredibly proud of our students who participated in the Okaloosa County School District's Anti-Vape Campaign. The winners were very creative and did an excellent job of raising awareness about the dangers and adverse effects of vaping,” stated ECCS Board Chair Catherine Card.
