Chenango Valley LEADers Present to 150 Students

On Wednesday, April 27th, the YES! LEADers from Chenango Valley High School visited Chenango Bridge Elementary school and presented to 150 students in six classrooms.

The YES! LEADers spent an hour with their classes and covered several topics during this time including drugs, alcohol, and different resistance skills to help them deal with peer pressure. The kids were able to use Fatal Vision goggles to simulate the effects of alcohol on the body, eat marshmallows to see how drugs and alcohol make simple tasks like talking much more difficult, and see how their decisions can affect their lives with the post-it note activity, "Truth and Consequences: What Do I Have Left?".
