Today is World Health Day, dedicated to raising awareness of global health issues. I want to remind people that staying active daily is part of a healthy lifestyle and can reduce health risks, improve your mood, cope better with stress, and much more. Get moving! 🚴🏾‍♂️

I’ve heard from many students that they’re unsure if they can carry Narcan in schools. The answer is: YES.

And you may save a life, as a Quince Orchard HS student did this past Tuesday.

➡️ Get Narcan-trained and receive a kit at https://t.co/36gor26t0u.

As Marylanders prepare for legal cannabis to legal for 21+, know what that means for our teens' access. Prepare yourself by learning the facts. Prepare your child by talking with them about it. Students, the knowledge from the information shared could earn you $! Stay tuned.
