 When
you walk into our school, you immediately notice the SCN
posters. We believe the messages are powerful and want
our students to be faced with those messages on a daily
basis.Maxine

 The
Safe Campuses Now posters show teens the reality of the
consequences of their actions. Each one teaches a
different lesson.
- Stephanie Aronson, Senior, Clarke Central High
It is easy to get caught up in
the fun of being a teen and forget that impulsive decisions
can have lifelong effects. The Safe Campuses Now
posters remind me to take care of myself and make good
decisions.
- Sarah Nehf, Junior, Clarke Central High |
 The
posters around school really grab your attention. I
think it is a better way to reach out to teens than giving
us a lecture because it provides a daily visual that is hard
to ignore.
- Amber Thomas, Junior, Clarke Central High |
