The Farmington Hills school's 9th annual May Day: A Call for Help includes information on addiction, relationship violence, nutrition and health, and money management.
East Middle School students will hear information to help them make better choices during the 9th annual “May Day: A Call for Help”, held during the school day on May 31.
Presented by Farmington Hills school's Student Assistance Team, the event is designed to help adolescents during a critical time, when poorly informed decisions have lifelong consequences.
In a promotional letter, organizers wrote, "Our hope is that by educating our students before they make difficult decisions and by giving them tools to seek help for themselves and/or friends, we will aid in breaking the silence about violence, drugs and alcohol."
