You think everybody's doing it? They're not!
If you're making good choices about drugs and alcohol, you can find people who think like you do. They are right in your own school and community.

Rockwood Rocks! Band Night
Students from all four Rockwood School District high schools planned and hosted the second annual “Rockwood Rocks!” band night September 8th. The event was held at Lafayette High School and open to all high school students, families and friends of band members.
This year's concert event featured 6 bands from high schools all around Rockwood. We held a prevention trivia contest with prizes from Candicci's Restaurant, Fazio's Frets and Friends and Mozingo Music.
Over 150 guests attended the Rockwood Drug-Free Coalition sponsored event.

Middle School Early Release Day Events
High school students, including those involved in RHORS, volunteer at these events to serve as mentors for the 7th graders. Over 420 7th grade students from all six Rockwood middle schools attended our three Early Release Day Events this September.
Students learned that just as they had choices between what fun activity to do at Sports Fusion and Riverchase, they have choices every day about friendships and healthy versus unhealthy behaviors. They also learned some facts about prevention through trivia questions.
The Coalition also hosted Holy Infant's 7th grade at Babler Outdoor Education Center for a field trip. The students participated in team building activities, games, and geo-caching. Over lunch we spoke about prevention and the students answered trivia about various substances.
