In an effort to promote drug and alcohol awareness, jagPRIDE created trivia questions to test the student body’s knowledge. From Monday, Oct. 31 to Friday, Nov. 4 members of jagPRIDE set up a table during lunch for students to participate in the trivia game.

“I hope that the people who participate in this trivia feel the realization of how bad these things are for you.” jagPRIDE member senior Lindsay Mason said.

Different topics were covered throughout the week. Some of those topics included tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and prescription medication abuse.

“I think the most shocking fact I learned was the number of people addicted to prescription drugs,” jagPRIDE sponsor Debbie Gudenkauf said. “It’s 7 million. It’s outrageous.”

JagPRIDE members hope that this drug fact awareness trivia has helped students realize the consequences of their actions.

“I hope [the trivia] affects the choices that they make and help them to know ahead of the consequences,” Mason said. “They need to know the consequences.”

Members of jagPRIDE meet weekly and create events designed to inform the student body of the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. On Monday, Nov. 28, jagPRIDE has organized for a speaker to visit to talk about the loss of her daughter due to alcohol abuse.

Gudenkauf believes that students will be affected by this shocking information.

“The more kids hear this information,” Gudenkauf said. “The more it sinks in.”
