The tragic events of September 11 have changed our lives forever. Just as we support our country's external fight against terrorism, we need to continue to support our country's internal fight against drugs. Avoid drugs and discourage others from using drugs, and help local law enforcement win the fight against drugs.
The purpose in sponsoring this calendar is to offer support to Vanderburgh County students to stay drug and alcohol free. Drawing the anti-drug posters and having a personal copy of the Anti-Drug Calendar gives students a constant reminder that there is no place in their lives for drugs.
To the hundreds of sixth, seventh, and eighth grade Vanderburgh County students who contribute their time and talents to share the message of a drug and alcohol-free life, we dedicate this Year 2002 calendar.
