The mission of the Maple Shade Community Alliance is to promote the health and well-being of individuals in Maple Shade through the reduction of alcohol and substance abuse. We accomplish this through ongoing community involvement, collaboration, education, and quality programs for both children and adults. Our hope is for a community that promotes wellness and is free of the misuse and abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. The Maple Shade Community Alliance joins forces each year with other groups interested in encouraging community members to take a stand against drugs. The week of October 23- 31 has been designated national Red Ribbon Week. This program has been in effect since 1985. It was started to show a national commitment to the fight against drug abuse. Each year our school children celebrate this week by hearing about safe and healthy ways to enjoy themselves. Our youngest students share ideas on ways to have fun and be safe. While our older children brainstorm ways to keep themselves busy without the use of any illegal substance. They hear from mentors who share their own stories of strength against the pressures of all youth. They are encouraged to think of an individual who they could turn to in the event they are approached by someone trying to entice them to try something illegal. This year, our high school mentors will visit each school and talk to the students about healthy ways to have fun. Each student will be given a token to remind them of the message they heard from the high school student who visited their class. Please take the opportunity to expand on this message when your child comes home with that story of their visitor and shares the pencil or ribbon they received.
