B-G YES LEADers teach students about safe choices

BAINBRIDGE – 34 YES LEADers from Bainbridge-Guilford High School stopped by Greenlawn Elementary School to talk to the elementary students about friendship, the dangers of substance abuse and the importance of making safe choices.

YES LEADS is a peer-to-peer substance abuse prevention program run by YES Safe Choices, co- sponsored by Senator Akshar and Lourdes Hospital. YES trains high school and middle school LEADers, like those from Bainbridge-Guilford, who are role models for younger students.

At their presentations, YES LEADers use interactive activities that are designed to illustrate the importance of positive self-esteem and how everyday decisions can impact a person’s future. Since YES LEADers stand out in their schools and communities as drug-free role models, younger students look up to them and want to emulate the positive choices they’ve made.

In addition to visiting classrooms, Bainbridge-Guilford’s YES LEADers participate in a variety of community outreach events, including hosting two free family movie nights and co-sponsoring an Opiate Awareness Night with Afton High School YES LEADers.
