These tools supported important conversations around mental wellness and gave students practical strategies they can carry with them beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour support also made a significant impact during our alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention unit. The posters, beach ball, and provided lessons increased student participation and helped them understand some of the dangers of using these substances now and in the future. \r\n\r\nWe are grateful for your investment in their health, well-being, and education.
