Too Good For Drugs Program
During our 3rd session of T.G.F.D., Deputy Seward discussed decision-making. Students learned how the decisions a person makes impacts their character and reputation in either positive or negative ways. Once again, students received a homework assignment that should be completed with their families to reinforce the ideas shared during session 3.
