High Action Bikes
Educational and Exciting Drug Awareness assemblies talk
to students about living a healthy drug free life style.
Our assemblies lets your students know that they can accomplish
anything in life by remaining drug free. Our extreme sports
school performers will let your students know how we became
successful by living drug free lifestyles. As professional
extreme sports athletes, we need to stay healthy. we need
to be fit, eating, and exercising is very important. We
will let the kids know that there are many dangerous drugs
in our society. Our performers will also let them know that
many of these drugs are very addictive and deadly. One day
they will be asked to try drugs. They need to make the responsible
and right choice by Just Saying NO.
Drugs will lead them down the path to no where. Drugs destroy
your body and your mind.
Kids today really do need the motivation to build Self
Esteem, Character, and
to set Goals! Helping teens
to find ways they will feel good about themselves, to be
successful and proud of their achievements gives them the
self-esteem they need to resist peer pressure. Other ways
of helping kids stay clean of drugs is to take up a hobby.
Study and work at something they are interested in, whether
its art, sports, music, reading, exercising, or helping
a friend or family member. This is a great way to stay focused
and stay away from drugs. Our drug prevention assemblies
will teach your students to stay drug free, stay in school
and work hard to accomplish their goals. Kids look up to
Pro sports athletes as role models. Our performers always
do their best in promoting drug prevention to kids. We know
what its takes to live a drug free healthy lifestyle.
Let our Pro Action Sports athletes deliver an Inspiring
Message on the importance of saying no to
drugs, alcohol and tobacco products for your next drug prevention
assembly!
Our
school performers adjust the content of our drug awareness
assemblies to make it age appropriate. The older the students,
the more detail we go into about the different types of
drugs.
High
Action Bikes Tom Rokosz takes
it heart when speaking with kids about the dangerous
drugs we have in society. Toms aunt Paula died at the young
age of 14 years old. Tom gives a heart breaking story that
your students will remember. When using illegal drugs everyone
is effected in your family. We do inform the older students
on making them aware of types of drugs and the effects it
has on the body.
Types of Drugs
Prescription
Drugs
Opioids is
the largest class in terms of common prescription drug abuse.
Prescription opioids are often powerful pain relievers,
such as Vicodin and Oxycontin. Demerol is also becoming
a popular prescription drug to abuse. Prescription Drugs
now outnumber new users of every illicit drug, except Marijuana.
1 in 3 teens reports having a close friend who abuses prescription
pain relievers to get high. SAMHSA's National Survey on
Drug Use and Health shows that teen abuse of legal drugs
is on the rise. Everyday 2,500 teenagers use a prescription
drug to get high for the first time. Usually the prescription
drug is found at home or at a friends home.
Methamphetamine
Street
Terms: Crystal Meth, Meth, Ice
Meth can kill you by causing overheating, convulsions, and
coma.
Meth can damage blood vessels in the brain leading to strokes.
Marijuana
Street Terms:
Pot, Weed, Joint
Smoking marijuana affects alertness, concentration, perception,
coordination and reaction time, many skills required for
safe driving and other tasks. These effects can last several
hours after smoking.
Marijuana can be addicting. More teens are in treatment
with primary diagnosis of marijuana dependence than all
other illicit drugs combined.
Marijuana also has some of the same cancer-causing substances
as tobacco. One joint can deliver four times as much cancer-causing
tar as one cigarette.
Heroin
Heroin
clouds mental function and slows cardiac function.
Breathing is slowed, possibly to the point of death.
Cocaine
and Crack
Cocaine
can kill you the first time you use it. Cocaine and Crack
are highly addictive.
Regular cocaine and crack users can become very paranoid.
Cocaine use can cause damage to your nose. Regular snorting
cocaine, for example, can lead to loss of sense of smell,
nosebleeds, problems with swallowing, hoarseness, and chronically
runny nose.
Cocaine increases body temperature, heart rate and blood
pressure.

Celebrate
Red Ribbon Week with a High Action
Bikes Drug Prevention Assembly
on October 22-30, 2011
Red Ribbon Week is the most far-reaching
and well-known drug prevention event in America.
Red Ribbon Week focuses on educating students about healthy
choices and responsible choices, especially the choice to
avoid drugs. The need for drug prevention efforts never diminishes.
Each year there are millions of new students just starting
their journey through school who have not yet heard the drug
free messages expressed during Red Ribbon Week.
Red Ribbon Week History
The National
Family Partnership (NFP) began Red Ribbon Week in 1988 to
commemorate the life and death of Enrique “Kiki”
Camarena, an agent of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration,
who died in the fight against drugs. NFP, an organization
devoted to helping families and communities live healthy,
drug-free lives, asked youth and adults to wear and display
red ribbons during the last week of October to demonstrate
their commitment to a drug free lifestyle and to remember
Agent Camarena. The U.S. Congress quickly rallied to this
cause, with Nancy Reagan as the first honorary chairperson.
Since 1988, communities throughout the country have embraced
Red Ribbon Week and have sponsored many different activities
that promote healthy, drug-free lifestyles, John Lasne,
a U.S. postal employee, was inspired by the 1992 Red Ribbon
Celebration poster and wrote a story titled, “The
Red Ribbon” for a storytelling event in Greenville,
South Carolina. “The Red Ribbon” describes a
village on the brink of destruction due to a sadness that
touches all people and things. The king desperately tries
to rid the kingdom of this curse. After many failures, a
young weaver lifts the pall of gloom by using a red ribbon
to unite the community and create positive change.
When schools and
organizations plan events and activities to celebrate Red
Ribbon Week, they pay tribute to a brave DEA agent by bringing
people together to give our youth a priceless gift, a drug-free
community.
