It's Red Ribbon Week at Cascade Schools, and were actively promoting our keep away from drugs program to all our students. We can't do this alone, and seek the support from parents, family, and community toward keeping "our kids" away from drugs. Did you know it can take as little as one exposure to meth to lead a person down the road of a life filled with drugs and all the horrors it can bring, like family disruption, law enforcement intervention, jail and prison time, and life filled with sickness and death. The same goes with illegal access to prescription drugs, and the epidemic pain killer meds like hydrocodone. There are no good reasons to even try drugs, NONE! That's why we're focusing awareness this week, but it really needs to be a constant focus. You can support this effort by keeping your homes and lives drug free. Clear out old prescriptions of prescribed pain killers, and keep current prescriptions locked up or hidden to prevent unauthorized access. Are you doing your share to keep our kids away from drugs?
