At the 2024 Washington State Spring Youth Forum in May, the TVM DREAM Team participated for the first time and presented their project, 'Prevention Bingo.' This event gathered around 40 teams from various schools, mostly high schools, to promote youth well-being in the state. The TVM students' project focused on nicotine prevention and promoting a drug-free lifestyle using bingo cards with prevention-related words, complemented by daily school announcements.

The 'Prevention Bingo' project aimed to educate students in an engaging way about the risks of drug and nicotine use. The TVM team's presentation was judged on innovation, sustainability, impact, and professionalism.

The forum provided a competitive yet cooperative setting where teams were evaluated on presentation style, collaboration, and partnerships. The TVM DREAM Team achieved third place, a notable accomplishment given the experienced competition.

Congratulations to team members Jocelyn Curry, Seth Kent, Ella Kohlenberger, Alexis Mesecher, Levi Sandstrom, and Rex Wing, and their advisers Blake Bowers, Linda Korum, and Felisha Sandberg for their commendable performance.
