West Side students in grades 10–12 had the opportunity to hear a powerful and heartfelt message from Samantha Rudd of Sherwood, Arkansas.
Samantha is a registered nurse, addiction recovery advocate, and mother who has experienced unimaginable personal loss. She shared her story while encouraging students to understand the dangers of substance abuse, the importance of making positive choices, and how one decision can have a lasting impact.
Her message was a meaningful reminder that our choices matter, every life has value, and hope can be found even in the most difficult circumstances.
We are grateful to Samantha for her willingness to share her story and invest in the lives of our students. 💚
Thank you to everyone who purchased a shirt, made a donation, offered a prayer, or showed support. This is what makes our West Side family so special!
💚🩷 Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle. No One Fights Alone!
Our West Side High School students and staff showed up in PINK to spread awareness, show support, and remind everyone that no one fights alone!
West Side students in grades 7–12 had the opportunity to hear from members of the Lonoke County P.A.C.T. Program(Peers Achieving Collaborative Treatment)
Students learned about the importance of making responsible decisions, understanding the consequences of their actions, and how the choices they make today can impact their futures. Through personal experiences and powerful messages about recovery, second chances, and the importance of making positive choices, our guests reminded students that their decisions matter and that it is never too late to choose a better path.
We appreciate the members of the Lonoke County PACT Program and Michelle Winston for taking the time to visit West Side and share valuable lessons with our students!
