ALBION — Eighth-graders from Albion’s Carl I. Bergerson Middle School organized an anti-drug lock-in for their sixth grade peers this past December.

The theme of the lock-in was “Fun Does Not Include Drugs” and the organizers, students in Mr. Pat Uveino’s 8th grade enrichment Health Class, designed and made the t-shirts for the event. The students also helped the sixth-graders during the night’s many events including a “Dodge Drugs” dodgeball game.

“The kids had a blast,” Mr. Uveino said. “The 8th graders in my enrichment health class did a great job in planning and implementing the lock in.”

Student event organizers included: Peyton Dimatteo, Bella Cooper, Katelyn Viza, Alivia Dumrese, Gavin Smith, Jayeden Whitney, Joshua Wright, Tristan Munning, Dana Burns, Seth Horn, Grayson Standish and Jayden Plummer.

The class would like to thank the following individuals for making this event possible:

• Chaperones: Bruce Pritchett, Mike Jones, Mike Sanders, Amber Marvin, Allyson DeBoard, Desiree Barber and Brad Pritchard.
• Helped with making the shirts: Sarah McCormick, Jessica Lang and Necole Rotthoff.
