Question by Aedah: Bulletin board ideas for Students against substance abuse?
We have this program “SASA” at our school, what would be some good ideas..so far I’ve got putting up a different drug every month with it’s side effects, and how many people die from it. Anything else?

and any other creative ideas to help middle school and elementary kids keep focused with this sasa project?

Best answer:

Answer by cjvw622
I’d be careful about posting too much drug info. I was at one school where the kids wrote down the drugs and the effects so they could try them! Try to get the kids involved in contributing ideas. Most will pretty much ignore anything an adult tells them. Also, check out different substance abuse websites. There is lots of free stuff available for display.
