They made three Drug Awareness Parent Presentations. This was accomplished as a partner of OUSD, OC Dept. of Ed and Orange GRIP. The presenters from OC Dept of Ed did outstanding job, and we handed out literature, resource info and DisposeRx samples. Thanks to Danny Salas and JC Cortez for coming out to represent us in Spanish. Approximately 22 parents attended.
We work with the Orange Unified School District (OUSD) to get our Drug Awareness Program material out to the elementary, junior high and high schools. The students from OUSD can participate in our Poster, Essay or Video Contest programs.
Take a look at this year's lodge and district's winning pre-high school video from Cerro Villa MS.
