Tim Rader: Live to Tell

On May 29, Tim Rader will do a drug and alcohol presentation at 7:00pm in the Middle School auditorium: Live to Tell.

Tim Rader is here to share with you the true story of how he--a regular kid --made mistakes and became caught up in a drug addiction that almost cost him his life. He is here to tell you what he didn’t know and what his parents didn’t know. We’re lucky to have Tim here to share with you facts as well as myths about chemical abuse and addiction. These lessons are delivered through his family’s real life story with the hope that your wonderful family doesn’t make the same mistakes. Tim now travels the country with a student and parent program called “Live to Tell” which has become one of the most sought after prevention programs available.

More information is available at TimRader.org.
