It may be grammatically incorrect, but the Superintendent Malcolm Thomas’ administration has the slogan for its new drug awareness campaign: “You, me, be drug free!†Hopefully the sentence won’t be on the FCAT exam.
Press Release: The Escambia County School Board recently unveiled a drug free awareness plan for the School District of Escambia County, Florida, involving three critical components to include prevention, enforcement and support. To garner student support, Superintendent Malcolm Thomas has been meeting with student leadership groups in the middle schools and high schools of Escambia County.
As part of the support effort, students were asked to submit a slogan that would be used county- wide to depict how students in Escambia County feel about drugs. The slogan, “You, me, be drug free!†submitted by students from Escambia High School received overwhelming support by students from middle schools and high schools in Escambia County and was selected to be the Drug Free Awareness slogan.
The next phase will be to produce a graphic to depict the slogan. Once the graphic has been designed, all schools in Escambia County will receive posters to display.
