How Lincoln Junior High Ended the School Year
Seeking to keep kids from having trouble during the summer, a non-profit arranged a day of constructive workshops, with a party for fun.
On the last day of school at Lincoln Junior High on June 4th, students got a substance prevention program from a non-profit agency, Metropolitan Family Services.
The main focus was prevention skills that include positive decision making, social-emotional skills, bullying prevention and substance prevention, according to the agency.
