Full Steam Ahead!

As January and February have come and gone, everything has begun to really pick up in March. Our YES! LEADS groups have begun scheduling presentations, in addition to kicking it up with different Community Outreach Projects.

Last week, our groups from Susquehanna Valley High School, Tioga Central High School and Jennie F. Snapp Middle School presented to their respective elementary schools, talking to young students about addiction and drugs and alcohol.

In the next two weeks, our YES! LEADS groups from Vestal High School, Jennie F. Snapp Middle School, Union-Endicott High School and Seton Catholic Central High School will continue their presentations at other elementary and middle schools within their district.

Community Outreach Projects have also come back. On Friday, Chenango Valley High School's YES! LEADers hosted their first movie night, featuring newly-released "The Muppets". The same day, Norwich High School featured their annual "Grim Reaper Day" where students are slowly "killed off" throughout the day to show the realities of alcohol related death. Bainbridge-Guilford High School hosted a movie night two weeks ago with the movie "Puss In Boots" to an audience of over 200. R.T. Stank Middle School YES! LEADers teamed up with other students from their school for a Binghamton University Bus Trip, learning more about the school and the opportunities that college can open up to them in the future.

Seton Catholic is currently in the process of planning a movie night for April, and we'll keep our web calendar up-to-date with all upcoming events. So be sure to visit http://www.yessafechoices.org/ regularly to see pictures from our groups' presentations and Community Outreach Projects.
