Caledonia-Mumford School
District Superintendent's Conference
Day: Faculty and Staff Train on the Current Drug Culture
TESTIMONIAL:
It saddens one to think
that kids would use their God-given creativity to find ways to do such harm to
themselves. However, it is comforting to know that Dave [Monk] and Gary [Metz],
with their phenomenal anti-drug program, are out in the community educating all
of us on the dangers of drug use and how to enlighten our young people.
Every school district needs to hear what these two men are saying! Thank you
guys, keep up the great work.

I would like to take this opportunity to
thank you for your time and commitment to the Avon community with the Reality
Based Drug Awareness Program. Throughout my 17 years in education...never before
have I experienced such a high quality and powerful presentation.
After six hours of training my staff was begging for more!! Many students thanked us for this program. Two hundred community members learned of the tools, toys and tricks of drug usage today...The impact of your presentation was felt not only in our community but the surrounding communities and organizations, many of who have called requesting further information about your high quality program.
