to be helpful, caring,
and constructive-
To make everything
you touch a little bit better.
The best thing you
have to give is
yourself."

Putnam County deputies and school officials hope so.
A new program targeting middle and high school students was approved by the Putnam County Schools Board of Education Monday.
Students may volunteer to submit urine samples for instant tests that screen for cocaine, marijuana, and other drugs including opiates and amphetamines. The tests will be administered by an independent company-not school officials. This is to ensure that the results are only revealed to students and their parents.
According to Buffalo Chief of Police and Putnam County Deputy Sheriff Will Jordan, students that pass the drug tests will receive discount movie tickets, restaurant gift certificates, store coupons, and other items as they become available.
Superintendent of Schools Harold “Chuck” Hatfield says he favors the program which will start on a yet-to-be announced date.
