Middle School Early Release Day Event
We provided our first-ever middle school early release day event for CMS 7th graders on March 6th at Sports Fusion. Students learned that just as they had choices between laser tag, dodge ball, mini golf and many other activities, they have choices every day about friendships and healthy versus unhealthy behaviors.

Rx Abuse Campaign

You've heard of the heroin epidemic in St. Louis County?  Heroin use is often preceeded by addiction to prescription opiats ... and these pain killers are often prescribed to youth who undergo oral surgery, orthopedic suregry and other procedures.  We will use a $5,000 state grant to begin a physician and patient education campaign to address prescription medication abuse.  Tool kits containing posters, pens and notepads will be used to remind physicians and parents of the dangers of prescribing and taking more medication than is necessary.  Join us in our efforts by calling Renee Heney.
