About Us
Goal
To Create A Drug Free World!
Background
- DAST began in 2012 when me, my wife, and two children were having dinner at home. My children start talking about their day and how school has been lately. My daughter mentioned how a student she knew was caught drunk at school. The girls parents were called and it became a whole scene for the student and staff body to witness. My daughter explained how embarrassed she felt for the girl and her family. My daughter continued on saying that the girl was a good student who generally got good grades. A good student getting drunk at school. This got me thinking about how big the drug problem could be in my community and what I could do to help fix it.
