Next week, we’re celebrating making healthy choices and living drug free. Each of us is an important piece of the puzzle, and when we work together to make smart choices, we create a bright, healthy picture for our future! Students are welcome to join in the activities, show kindness, and help us piece together a drug-free life — one choice at a time!
