National Drug Facts Day at the Swedish Embassy!

Last week, 100 DC high school students and several SEED students (Darcia Brown, Taylor Butler, Cierra Graham, Imani Graham, Heaven Griffin, Bryon Ford, Keirra Simmons and Keyana White) had an opportunity to interact with top U.S. scientists and guest speakers at the House of Sweden! 

All of the students were guests of Mentor Foundation USA and the goal of the event was to shatter the myths that students had about drugs and for them to pledge to stay drug free!
 
The guest speakers included Dr. Nora Volkow, Director at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and R&B recording artist Mario (Barrett) of The Mario Do Right Foundation.

In addition to the guest speakers, the George Washington University Center for Alcohol/Peer Drug Educators presented workshops for students in a game show format and the clothing retailer H&M announced the winner of the drug free T-shirt slogan contest. While no one from SEED won the slogan contest, all of the students enjoyed themselves and modeled exemplary behavior throughout the day.
