To kick off Red Ribbon Week, we were honored to hear from Josh Smith from Steered Straight. He shared his heartbreaking story of home life tragedy, bad choices, prison experience and then how he turned his life around through hard work and determination. He touched our students' hearts and inspired them to pledge to stop vaping and live drug free. He shared facts, statistics, and solutions for staying healthy and productive. It was an incredible experience for our students. Have a conversation with you student about this! Thank you Mr. Smith and to Mrs Eskridge for coordinating this event.
