The High School English
teacher will sponsor a drug-free student advocate group. They will attend
the TONE (Teens of Northeast) conference in December. The Teens of
Northeast (TONE) Arkansas program hosts an annual conference to train
students and adults in how to recognize, reduce and prevent substance
abuse and related behavior among young people. The conference's core
program, Teens Are Concerned (TAC), was founded in 1983 by a small group
of students who wanted to take action against the growing problem of
impaired driving among their peers. Funding support was provided through
a grant from the Crowley's Ridge Development Council: Prevention Resource
Center, a statewide prevention service of the Arkansas Bureau of Alcohol
and Drug Abuse Prevention (ADAP) The goals of the TONE conference are to:
1. Equip students and adults with information, skills and creative ideas;
2. Provide students and adults with training in strategy development,
networking and motivation techniques; 3. Address issues of personal
growth, drug prevention, and communication; 4. Inspire participants to
continue the workshop momentum and use its information to start an innovative
TONE project in their school or community. The conference consists of two
days of extensive training for approximately 300 students and 80 adults.
Conference activities include workshops as well as small group and
general sessions. Information about substance abuse and related issues is
made available and discussions focus on promoting and carrying out
chemical-free activities such as Project Graduation, drug-free youth
groups, occupant protection safety skits and programs to improve
communication and problem-solving skills and to raise self-esteem. TONE
also taps into the skills and energy of its participants for creative
approaches to information dissemination, audience-tailored presentation
styles and networking activities. The highlight of the conference is a
drug-free social event planned by the students.
