This week is National Prevention Week, each day there will be a “Did You Know” fact about alcohol and opioids to increase awareness about the dangers of these drugs. The high school health classes have made informative posters that you can see hanging in the hallways. Additionally, if you would like to take a pledge to stop the misuse of alcohol, you can pick up a pledge card in the office. When you return it, they will give you a small gift in return.
DID YOU KNOW?--Opioids are a type of drug with powerful pain relieving properties often prescribed by doctors. According to the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 1 in 7 high school students reported misusing prescribed opioids at least once in their life.
