HEROES OF THE COMMUNITY- Merweither County Sheriff Steve Whitlock (Seated)
teamed up with a number of high school students to spread the word about the advan-
tages of staying drug-free. Taking part from Greenville High were (L-R) Patrick Collier,
Tiffany Boyd, Tamara Elliott and Jason Rivers.
Sheriff, Area High Schoolers
Join Forces in Drug Battle
Area high school students this week
assisted the Meriwether County Sheriff's
Office in spreading the word about staying
drug free.
The tudents were selected from their
respective schools to go into the 5th grade
classes to talk with younger students about
remaining drug free as they get older. In
order to be selected the students must be
academically sound, well thought of by their
peers, as well as being committed to a drug
free lifestyle.
According to Sheriff Whitlock, "It's easy
for us to tell our children to say no to drugs,
when as adults we don't face a lot of the
things that they face. These high school stu-
dents deal with negative peer pressure and
temptation almost daily. This shows our
younger children that they too can suc-
cess.fully deal with the pressure to use drugs
and make something of themselves."
The high school role models went to
each of the fifth grade classes at Mountain
View, Unity, and George Washington
Elementary Schools as well as Flint River
Academy elementary students. At each of
the schools they discussed their dreams,
and how they themselves deal with the pres-
sure to use drugs. Selected as high school
role models for the 2002-2003 school year
were: Patrick Collier, Tiffany Boyd, Jason
Rivers and Tamara Elliott from Greenville
High School. Manchester High School role
models were Katy Moore, Greg Rodgers,
Brittani Boykin, Harold Davis, Morgan
Conner and David Dunn. Selected role
model students from Flint River Academy
were Lindsey Perdue, Bryan Garrett, and
Mandy Adams.
"I'm proud to see these students step
up. We should all be proud of these kids.
Hopefully with the DARE Program in our
elementary schools and in the future with
our school resource officers working in the
middle and high schools we can play a small
part in helping our kids make a brighter
future for themselves," Whitlock said.
