Color Me Drug-Free:
An Obstacle Challenge Course
On Saturday, April 6th, from 9:00AM – 11:00AM, the Angelina County Drug-Free All Stars and the Drug-Free Council of Pineywoods Community Academy will host Color Me Drug-Free: An Obstacle Challenge Course, to celebrate and encourage students to live a healthy and substance-free life. Participants will make their way through an obstacle course filled with fun challenges but watch out! Color will be flying so that students are marked drug-free!

Since 1988, The Coalition has focused on eliminating the use of harmful substances by affecting public policy, laws, attitudes and behaviors, all in an effort to foster healthy life-long choices for the local community.
