Coming Thursday, Oct. 2nd, to Swink School - - Steered Straight
Steered Straight is a 17-year proven program that does not explain drug prevention at school assemblies but TEACHES the reality of drugs and devises a prevention message the students implement themselves within their school system.
Steered Straight does not simply educate students about the harmful nature of drugs and alcohol but provides the reality and deadly impact it can and will have on their lives. We remove the concern parents’ have on how to help their kids and replace it with active solutions.
We have found that the “just say no” message has not worked, nor will discipline and scare tactics. To actively achieve students wanting to stop using whatever substance, on whatever level and on their own, is the only method. However, it takes an engaging and powerful message. Michael DeLeon and his team delivers that.
We hope to see you there!
#GoLions
If lightning strikes within 10 miles, the game will go into a 30 minute delay.
Each time there is a new lightning strike within the countdown, the 30 minute delay starts over.
If the game is delayed, you must vacate the stands since they are metal.
Let's enjoy some Friday Night Lights! #Go Lions
Good Luck to all of the Lions competing this week.
