ACTIVITIES
This is National Drug & Alcohol Facts Week, sponsored by the National Institute for Drug Abuse and mostteens@dgs. Our mission this week is to present students with reliable information about teen drug and alcohol use. There is a lot of mixed messages and misinformation out there about drugs and alcohol, and we want your conversations and decision-making to be well-informed. Be listening for more announcements and watching for signage around the school this week. You can also check your email on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for a quick quiz and a chance to win a $10 Dunkin Donuts gift card. Remember, most teens at DGS make the positive, healthy choice to refrain from abusing drugs and alcohol.
