KENNETT SQUARE — Recognizing the importance of unifying against drugs as a community, the Kennett Consolidated School District held its first annual All In Against Drugs Night. Superintendent Dr. Barry Tomasetti invited parents and community members to attend an evening program as part of the District’s ongoing fight against drugs.
“Stories about opiate drugs have been in the news,” Dr. Tomasetti explains. “While we do not want our community to think this is a pervasive problem in our schools, we wanted to provide the families in the District with an opportunity to learn how to keep our children drug-free and safe.”
The night featured a video created by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) called Chasing the Dragon, which graphically illustrated the horrors of opiate drug abuse. Following the video, FBI agent and Unionville parent Mr. Kevin McShane and Kennett High School counselor Mr. Fran Ryan presented facts and provided valuable advice on how to keep the community drug free.
After the presentations, parents were given the opportunity to ask questions and present concerns. The community members in attendance were truly “all in” as they collaborated on questions, concerns, and solutions in an effort to keep District students safe.
“Kennett Consolidated School District’s All In Against Drugs Night is an opportunity to keep our community well informed and better prepared to help our children make positive choices and avoid starting on the pathway to drug abuse,” states Dr. Tomasetti. “Together, we are all in when it comes to preventing drug abuse among our children and young people.”
