On Wednesday, May 24, I had the
privilege of presenting S.A.Y. It Proud (Supporting and Acknowledging Youth) awards
to five amazing students from Reid Middle School. A second ceremony,
recognizing two outstanding young members of our community took place during
the Gather-In on Saturday, July 22.
Pittsfield Prevention Partnership Coordinator
Rich Johnson and Principal Linda Whitacre pose with Say It Proud Award winners Caitlyn Mayhew, Kileigh McGann, Gianna Arace, Ellianna Christopher,
and Ben Vengalil. S.A.Y. It Proud is a campaign, which unites young people, parents and community leaders in recognizing youth for their positive contributions to our community and for making healthy choices.
The S.A.Y. It Proud campaign is just
one of many strategies used by Pittsfield Prevention Partnership to prevent
youth substance use. To nominate a youth for a S.A.Y It Proud award, simply
email info@berkshireunitedway.org or call 413-442-6948.
We look forward to hearing from
you!

Coordinator of Pittsfield Prevention Partnership
