We have decided that we were gonna create papers that
are given to them by the students that if the parents have
any questions about prescription drug abuse they are
able to come to the school and get information on
prescription drug abuse.

parents/community?
How Are We Gonna Fix This
Problem?
While talking with
Ms.Bastian she has given
Eddie(me) and Dennisse
an idea that we set up a
day that people who
have left over
prescription drugs can
come and leave them so
they can be disposed
properly by the police.
