Dear Parent/Guardian:

Please don’t miss this important drug prevention video series!

The Pine Richland School District is working with nineteen other regional school districts and six non public schools to encourage parents to access Internet based drug prevention education resources.

These resources for parents are available through The Alliance Against Drugs web site at http://www.drug-alliance.org/.

In February, the Alliance began piloting a "Prevention Video a Month" program and on line discussion board for your comments after viewing the videos. The objective is for thousands of high school parents to view and discuss a series of four locally produced drug prevention videos. If you have a high speed Internet connection, please be part of this pilot program.*

Please view and comment on the videos in the series by clicking the links below:

February – “Listen” - The "Listen" video was produced to mobilize parents and community members to address the real dangers and threats of drugs in our region. It is the first in a series of videos. It has been viewed by thousands.

March – “Deception” - The video in our series, "Deception" was produced to address the issues of deceit, denial and enabling.

April – “Breaking the Code of Silence” – In this video, various community leaders, parents and teens describe the current state of the drug culture and the code of silence that must be broken. Emphasis on becoming “Responsible Reporters” is the entire community’s obligation.
