Rangers Against
Destructive Decisions 
Formed at the request of the 2008 Senior Class, R.A.D.D is a peer leadership and service organization dedicated to preventing destructive decisions by the students of VRHS; particularly underage drinking, drug use, impaired driving, teen violence, and suicide. R.A.D.D. seeks not to punish or alienate those students who make unfortunate choices but rather aims to inform, educate, support, and empower young people to make positive decisions in their lives. R.A.D.D. also wants to inspire students to practice kindness and to “pass it on” to others.

Our first R.A.D.D. meeting of the year is 9/9/08! |
Come by at 8am and/or 4pm in the Lecture Hall. Talk about the activities for the year, choose officers, meet new friends.
You pick the time that best works for you!
Open to all students who are committed to making good decisions in their lives and supporting classmates who need support. | | |

R.A.D.D. takes the lives and futures of our members seriously |
In addition to requesting a verbal "No Use" commitment from all members, R.A.D.D will require all members to enroll in the LISD voluntary drug testing program and sign a “Contract for Life” with their parents.
Additionally, R.A.D.D. will ask all elected officers to sign a contract that commits the officers to remain substance-free and to serve as active participants in our activities. | | |
