The Monroe High School Student Prevention Team is “setting up shop: in the school cafeteria this week to convince their fellow students the seriousness of drug abuse, both for illegal substances and with improperly used prescription drugs. 

            The 12-member Student Prevention Leadership Team recently attended the third annual Monroe County Prescription Abuse and Heroin Summit December 1 at Monroe County Community College.  The goal of the team is to show fellow students how they can avoid starting the drug abuse in the first place.  They also want to stress the seriousness of the situation and how innocently it can start. 

            Starting Monday (Dec. 14) the team isl hosting a table in the cafeteria during all lunches.  Students will have a chance to have their pictures taken and record how they can make good choices that will help when negative pressures come their way.  The top comments will be used by the Monroe County Substance Abuse Coalition as tweets and as a future billboard in Monroe.M
