Drug program for PSD Wednesday
LITTLE ROCK – The Little Rock Federal Bureau of Investigation in cooperation with various state agencies, law enforcement, and community partners are working together to coordinate a statewide same day viewing of “Chasing the Dragon” for students at participating campuses, on Wednesday, October 24, during Red Ribbon Week. More than 42,355 students, representing 142 school districts, have registered to see the film on October 24th.
“Chasing the Dragon” is a documentary produced by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Drug Enforcement Administration that exposes the truth behind the opioid epidemic that is devastating communities in the State of Arkansas and across the United States. The documentary features the true life stories and experiences of people who have dealt with the opioid epidemic.
Prescott School District will have a special Drug Awareness Program for Grades 5-8 on Wednesday, October 24 at 9 a.m. in the Prescott High School Auditorium. The program will consist of remarks from school personnel, the viewing of the “Chasing the Dragon” Video, remarks from local law enforcement personnel, and a time for questions and answers. A representative from Harbor House will also be present to have available substance abuse materials and answer questions of students.
The purpose of the program is to not only let students be aware of the OPIOID CRISES but also to help them to be DRUG FREE now and throughout their adult life.
