Meet with your principal. Discuss these criteria and your school's program. Alcohol and other drug education begins in the early grades and continues throughout the school years. Students are encouraged to work in teams or small groups. Teachers have been trained in alcohol and other drug education.
Older students work with younger students.
Learning materials present a clear and consistent message that any use of alcohol or other drugs by children is wrong and harmful. Materials present a realistic account of the appeals of alcohol and other drug use as well as its harmful effects. The program emphasizes wellness and healthy activities, rather than giving only a negative message. Help your school arrange a youth drug prevention contest. Invite local businesses to sponsor essay, rap or poster contests and award prizes to students who create effective anti-drug messages.
