Middle school gives out home drug test kits
September 10th, 2006 by ddetox
Officials at Winnisquam Regional Middle School will be offering parents more than spaghetti dinners and teacher meetings at an open house — they’ll also be passing out home drug testing kits.
Dave Tryon, the district’s substance abuse coordinator, said there will be enough urine testing kits at a Sept. 21 open house for families of all 430 students, if they wish to take them. Drug use at Winnisquam — which serves Tilton, Northfield and Sanbornton — isn’t higher than any other middle school, he said, adding that the point of the kits is to encourage parents to talk to their children about drugs.
He said the kits also may help kids refuse drugs.
