Red Ribbon Daily Fact
Student Council wants to give you information about Opioids, a form of a prescription drug. They are part of the group of drugs known as depressants.  Abusing the use of opioids can increase the risk of both addiction and overdose.  Opioids can produce drowsiness, cause constipation, and depending on the amount taken, affect a person’s ability to breathe properly.  The bottom line is don’t take this type of drug unless you have a valid prescription from a doctor.

Don't forget to stop by the Student Council table during your lunch period to answer today's trivia question.  Student Council members will also be handing out a treat to say "Boo to Drugs!"
