M.S. 101 gets early start on National Prevention Week
Next week marks the start of National Prevention Week, but one Bronx school started the conversation early on Friday.
M.S. 101 is taking a more hands-on approach and is speaking openly about substance abuse and its effects.
Students put their thoughts about drug use on paper and tied them to a park fence.
School officials say they need to empower children and give them a forum to talk about drugs in a meaningful way.
In the upcoming week, students will be learning each day about what substances they should stay away from.
