Seventh-grade students at Grissom and Prairie View Middle Schools recently participated in Project RIDE (Reinforcement in Drug Education), a districtwide program designed to promote healthy decision-making and raise awareness about safety and substance abuse prevention.
Project RIDE features a variety of age-appropriate presentations and activities, including:
- “Less Tired. More Inspired” presentation
- Drug Enforcement Administration presentation
- Tinley Park Police Department internet safety presentation
- School resource officer presentation on vaping
- Decision-making and peer pressure discussions
- Teacher-led team-building activities
Through collaboration with parents and community partners, KSD 140’s Project RIDE program supports students in making informed, healthy choices both in and out of school.
