SADD has a "Grateful Tree" posted on the glass wall of the PBLZ. Students have been encouraged to write things they're thankful for on leaves that are taped on the wall. Students Against Destructive Decisions (S.A.D.D.) is a peer education, prevention, and activism organization dedicated to preventing destructive decisions, particularly underage drinking and other drug use, risky and impaired driving, teen violence, and teen suicide. Many of these items listed on the Grateful Tree could be at risk if you engage in risky behaviors. Make thoughtful and wise decisions.
