DRUG STORY THEATER presents "BACK TO LIFE"
A must-see!! October 23, 2004 @ HHS Auditorium, 6-8 pm. Drug Story Theater and the City of Haverhill are proud to present a unique and impactful theatrical performance, “Back to Life” in observance of Youth Substance Use Prevention Month. This performance is designed to engage students, parents, and community members in a candid conversation about the dangers of drug use. Through a compelling narrative and a subsequent talkback session, we aim to shed light on the often-underestimated risks of experimenting with drugs. The performance is funded by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts DPH. The H.O.P.E. task force is a collaboration of community representatives from various sectors including government, education, safety, health and recreation.

BACKPACK 68
Due to poverty levels in Haverhill, all students receive free breakfast and lunch at school.
But there are 68 hours between lunch on Friday and breakfast on Monday when many students go hungry.
If you are in a position to help the school community please reach out to Maureen Simmons!
Together we will make a difference towards food insecurity.
Thank you so much to all the community members who gave so much last year! It takes a village!
