Locust Valley Middle and High School students in the Students Against Destructive Decisions (S.A.D.D.) club, school counselors and guest speaker Stephen Hill hosted activities throughout Red Ribbon Week from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1 to help students make smart choices in life.
On Oct. 28, S.A.D.D. club members and staff gave out red ribbon stickers as students entered the middle and high school building. Throughout the rest of the week, the club and school counselors went to middle school classrooms and educated students on the dangers of destructive decisions involving drugs and alcohol.
On Nov. 1, guest speaker Stephen Hill, founder of Speak Sobriety, spoke to middle and high school students about how he escaped his own destructive decisions, recovered and now teaches young people about substance use prevention and mental health awareness.
The district thanks to everyone who made Red Ribbon Week an informative and special time!
