The Pearl City High School Peer Education Students rallied their peers this week to “Charge Out Meth.” Students partnered with the Hawaii Meth Project to host a school-wide assembly to raise awareness about the Meth Project’s “Not Even Once” message and empower them to become active advocates of the campaign. The event included a morning sign waving by students in front of the school along with a lunch rally with entertainment provided by the Power 104.3 radio crew and a representative from the Hawaii Army National Guard. Students could also sign a pledge to live a meth-free lifestyle.
