P.A.W.S. (Panthers At War With Substance Abuse)              2003-04
 Hancock Addiction Prevention Program for Youth. The goal of this group is to obtain basic knowledge, skills and program models for the prevention of drug and/or alcohol abuse.  The new core team is selected by a written essay the student has written telling about  the importance of being drug free.  The new core team will then  go to a week-end called "HAPPY Week-End"  where they will learn different techniques on how to say "NO" and how to teach others what to do if in a situation where drugs or alcohol are involved.  The new core team will present skits, cheers, and a dance to the Middle School student body on their  HAPPY Week-End on the things that they learned.
