PASA Holds Planning Meeting July 19
The Pennsauken Alliance on Substance Abuse (PASA) is holding a planning meeting on Tuesday, July 19, 7:00 p.m. at the PYAA Field House, located 3501 Elm Ave. This local organization is comprised of local volunteers who help disperse state grant money to combat drug and alcohol misuse and abuse in the Pennsauken community.
PHS Visited By… The Grim Reaper
Pennsauken High School participated in Grim Reaper Day, an event sponsored by the school’s Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) Club.
Students were removed from class by the school’s resource officer, changed into all black clothing, and wore signs that explained how they “died.” These students then returned to class and remained silent for the rest of the day.
Students participated in Grim Reaper Day as a way to draw attention to not only alcohol and drug abuse, but also the poor decisions that teens can make that result in a tragedy. By enacting their own deaths, they put a personal face to what can happen when people put themselves in harm’s way through bad decisions; they hope to make an impact on their peers, impressing the point to stay away from drugs and alcohol and to make better choices.
A special thank you to the Pennsauken Alliance for Substance Abuse (PASA), who helped finance this great event.
