Community and Students Working Together for Safe Prom
The GCS chapter of S.A.D.D. (Students Against Destructive Decisions) has been working
very hard to organize a Post Prom Party for May 9-10. The purpose of the all-night party is to
provide a safe, drug and alcohol free environment for students to “party till dawn.” Hopefully,
this will help prevent any serious drug and alcohol related accidents from occurring after the
Prom. Over 100 students attend each year. All
GCS juniors and seniors are invited to attend,
regardless of whether they go to the Prom.
A record number of parents, community members, businesses and service organizations gave
very generously their time and resources to help
make last year’s event outstanding and very
successful.
The following is a list of those who have
demonstrated their support already this year:
Van Auken Express Co. Moosehead Cedar Log
Homes, Greenville Saw Service, Inc. Baumann’s Brookside, Barbara Brandon, Oak Valley Logging, Kelly’s Pharmacy, NAPA Greenville Auto and Truck Parts, Inc. Big Top Tents,
Town Line Auto, Anne Lafferty Realty, Just A
Buck, Grapeville Agency, Inc. Michelle Case.
More have expressed an interest and are expected to contribute. Another listing will be
publicized in the near future to show S.A.D.D.’s
gratitude and to commend the many caring and
involved individuals and businesses.
A list of students who attend the party, and
what time they leave, will be available after
the party for any parents who want to contact Mr. Tyrrell at the High School (9665070).
If your business or service organization has not
been contacted, or you have not yet taken the
opportunity to become part of this combined
effort between the school and community,
please feel free to join in! Contact James Tyrrell (S.A.D.D. Advisor) at Greenville High
School, Greenville, N.Y. (966-5070) S.A.D.D.
is hopeful that this event will save lives and be
great fun!
