In order to create awareness among students about the harmful effects of drugs and tobacco, St. Blaise High School organized a comprehensive awareness campaign on *"Drug-Free Mumbai"*. The initiative aimed to educate students to make healthy choices and lead a drug-free life.
The objective of the Campaign was To make students aware of the physical, mental and social effects of drug abuse.

The program began with a solemn pledge ceremony. A student led the pledge on the stage where all students promised:
- To stay drug-free
- To support friends to stay drug-free
The whole school assembled on the ground and took the pledge - "One Pledge, One Choice, Drug Free Voice!"

An informative seminar was conducted for the students of std 9th and 10th along with their parents where Teachers explained the topic with the help of a digital presentation on *"Effects of Drug Abuse"*.

Students actively participated by actively searching questions about benefits of yoga and balanced diet and effects of drug use on their phone along with their parents

Students made powerful human formations to spread the message:
- Formation of *"NO TO DRUGS"*
This visually represented their unity against drugs.
A poster making competition was held on themes like:
- Healthy Today, Strong Tomorrow, Say No to Tobacco
- Choose Health, Not Tobacco, Choose Life!
- Say No to Drugs, Yes to Dreams!
Students prepared colourful and meaningful posters and were displayed in school corridors with messages like "Tobacco Kills" and "Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Future".

Charts on "How to Overcome Drug Use" were displayed.

The Drug-Free Mumbai campaign was a grand success. It not only educated students about the dangers of substance abuse but also empowered them to choose a healthy lifestyle. The program ended with a loud and clear message from all students - *"SAY NO TO DRUGS, YES TO LIFE!"*
