On April 13 and 14, a drug program call
ed P.R.LD.E. was presented for students
at the high school. The aim of the Parent’s
Resource Institute for Drug Education
program was to be preventative and en
lightening in regard to drugs and alcohol.
Providing entertainment was the core
group, which was made up of Student
Council representatives, volunteers from
each class, and the chorus. Some other stu
dents and teachers performed as well.
Troy Garrison was the speaker. The ju
niors and seniors attended on Monday, the
freshmen and sophomores attended on
Tuesday, and parents were invited to at
tend for another presentation Tuesday
night.
“Our students performed various talent
which will encourage other people to say
no to drugs,” stated Mr. Morgan, “and
hopefully, from this workshop, our stu
dents can gain the strength needed to think
for themselves about the use of drugs and
alcohol.”
The program, which was sponsored by
Parents in Action, seemed to be a success.
