Yesterday, two of our outstanding Teens On Prevention students, Abbi Terrill and Sylis DuBois, along with Ms. Sanders(SHS), Carlos Lopez(HDC), and Sherry Lea(HDC) represented Salem at the 2026 Missouri Substance Use Prevention Conference! 🌟 In addition to taking part in insightful breakout sessions and hearing from inspiring keynote speakers, Abbi and Sylis had the incredible honor of addressing an audience of over 400 attendees, writing and delivering speeches based on the prompt "I Wish Adults Knew"! They were two of only nine students selected statewide to speak at this event. 🎤✨ Both students did a phenomenal job sharing their insights and making Salem proud! A special thank you to Healthy Dent County Prevention Coalition and Prevention Consultants of Missouri for sponsoring our attendance and supporting youth leadership in prevention. 👏
