Union County Anti-Drug Coalition Schools

Too Good

Activities include funding of a teacher and purchasing of materials for the “Too Good For Drugs” curriculum in the school system.

TGFD focuses on developing personal and interpersonal skills to resist peer pressures, goal setting, decision making, bonding with others, having respect for self and others, managing emotions, effective communication, and social interactions.

The program also provides information about the negative consequences of drug use and the benefits of a non-violent, drug-free lifestyle. More information will be added during the school year.

SASA

Creation and sponsorship of a student club in the high school is a high priority of the UCADC. Students Against Substance Abuse (SASA) promotes a drug free life. Their motto is "Any Use Is Abuse".

The members work together to educate and influence their peers, to be role models to students in younger grades, and to create activities that focus on the advantages of a drug-free lifestyle. More information will be added during the school year.

Fort Sorghum

An Anti-Drug Drama in the Old Fort Sorghum in Blairsville focuses on the realities of what happens to people who become involved with illegal drugs and the illegal use of prescription pills.

The drama uses local law enforcement and a drug detection dog. Those attending sit in stands - at the beginning witnessing a suspect being pursued by an officer, then they take a short walk to view recreated scenes in an interrogation room, courtroom, jail cell, classroom, family setting, and ultimate destination station.

The drama is available for student field trips and attendance by the community on specific dates.
