Wheeling Park SADD Chapter Cares About All Students



Wheeling WV - The Wheeling Park High School SADD Chapter launched their annual Please Return OMonday or PROM Campaign last month. They had a very busy April 2018 encouraging a substance free lifestyle for teens and providing signage to place around school and the prom. First they attended and helped out with the MADD Law Enforcement Recognition Dinner on April 12. The students planned and took part in a "Sticker Shock" event on April 13 at Gumby's on Wheeling Island. They placed stickers on alcohol products urging folks not to purchase alcohol for underage teens. They were aided by a Wheeling Police Officer and they learned a lot about checking I.D.s from the clerks. They also held a "Tie One On" event at the student parking lot at their school. The red ribbons, provided by MADD, were place on all cars. They had local media coverage from WTRF! Their message was don't ride in a car with anyone who has been drinking alcohol and to stay substance free! This shows the important work they do for Ohio County. These fine young people could also use your support by donating to their trip to the SADD National Conference in Washington DC or the SADD WV Conference. Please contact 304-233-2045 to make a donation!
