Hardin County Schools will be partnering with several area agencies to present an assembly on the dangers of drug overdoses.
“It’ll be an opportunity for our community, our parents, our families to see that obviously drug use and the abuse of it is not the proper thing to do,” said HCS Community Relations Specialist John Wright. “It can impact so many lives when things go wrong, and so this will really give people a firsthand look.”
The assembly will be Thursday at 6 p.m. at the HCS Performing Arts Center.
“The simulation is very powerful,” Wright said. “That is why we are saying that only those who are 18 years of age or older can attend. There will be a school version of this that students can see. The one that we are going to show on Thursday evening is a little bit more in your face, and so we are asking folks to be 18 or over to attend that.”
The event is free, however attendees are asked to reserve a ticket at thepac.net.
