Substance Use + Mental Health
Every year we dedicate our time towards a one week program educating students in school about substance use during National Prevention Week (the third week of May). The month of May is also Mental Health Awareness Month, so we have a tradition of hand crafting positive posters to distribute in our school.

One year we had a chalk board where anybody could write or draw anything they wanted in the lobby of our school and it was a big success!
