In recognition of Black History Month, we present a page in Black History.
On this date, February 1, 1960 – Black college students stage a sit-in at a segregated lunch counter in Greensboro, NC, beginning the first of the historic sit-in of the 1960’s.
This is National Drug & Alcohol Facts week, and we are working to shatter the myths about teen drug and alcohol use. Teens who abuse alcohol or other drugs are at greater risk of poor school performance, trouble with the police, becoming the victim of sexual assault, being hurt or injured, and struggling with addiction later in life. Check your email today for a link to a three-question quiz about drug and alcohol use and teen drivers. If you complete the quiz your name will be entered in a drawing for a $10 Dunkin Donuts gift card.
