GWHS Student 2023 (Post-event Survey)

Drug Store Project 2023

We hope that The Drug Store Project provided you with information about drugs and alcohol and their consequences. We also hope you learned more about those in the community that you can turn to for help.

This event involved 325 students from STMS and George Whittell High School, over 45 organizations and agencies, and 225 volunteers. It takes one full year to raise the money needed and to get the number of people to help make it run. We continue to do this in our community because we care about YOU.

This is your post-event survey. You will see questions you answered back in December before you learned about the facts. Again, your answers are confidential so it is very important that you answer to the best of your ability. This survey will also ask for your opinion as we want you to help us improve our program.

Thank you in advance for your help!
