Since she started in SCCDAT last year, Wellington’s Vivienne Wright has learned so much about her school and what goes on in it.
“I have learned about how common drugs and alcohol are in students my age,” Wright said. “I have also learned more about mental health. SCCDAT has impacted me by making me more aware of these issues.”
Being involved in SCCDAT means it’s a year-round commitment for Wright, who is also on the Crusader basketball team.
“We have a meeting once every couple of months,” Wright said. “We do activities like making bracelets for students with positive quotes on them, sidewalk chalking our school entrance with motivational quotes, and we help the community with various activities.”
There is a specific memory that stands out to Wright over her year and half with SCCDAT.
“My favorite memory was sidewalk chalking,” Wright said. “I had a lot of fun with my friends and I think the students all loved the positivity.”
Wright said there should be no hesitation for anyone interested in joining SCCDAT.
“I would tell any student that is interested to join,” Wright said. “It is a great way to get involved and make new friends. You also learn very important things.”
