If you are at Washington Academy & High School and would like to be a part of SADD, we will be meeting on Thursdays after school. We meet until 4:00 pm. It is the student's responsibility to arrange transportation for pick up home. SADD, which is Students Against Destructive Decisions, is an organization that promotes healthy habits and discourages and educates against destructive activities such as underage drinking, distracted driving, proper seat belt use and so much more. SADD is big on community service and giving back to the school and community. If you think we are a fit for you, show up to a meeting and try our group out! You can also see the school nurse for details.
Starting next week, every Tuesday from 2:45-4:00 pm, UMES will host a great opportunity for students to prepare for college and/or careers.
