Just Say No to Drugs!

This is one of those things that I wouldn't miss out on trying to help! Hailey and a group of 3 classmates were given an assignment where they had to make a PSA (public service announcement) for their speech class. I believe the theme had to be drug awareness.
Hailey had gotten together with her friends previous to this day to try to film a 30 -60 second spot but the girls didn't quite get that accomplished.
They decided they would get together on another Saturday and finish the filming or slide show or whatever, they were still unsure.
Problem was that two of the girls couldn't make it and it was due in about 4 days!
We came up with an idea and decided to go with it . . . we invited Brodie over to be a "drug dealer" and were going to just do the whole thing ourselves!
It was a lot of fun!

We never ended up using all of the pictures in the final PSA but I thought I would share these with you!


This is Brodie selling "drugs" to Hailey's classmate and friend, Geena.


He is actually selling her a baggie of cornstarch! It looked pretty good but realized we should have used something bigger than one dollar bills!

Another angle!

Hailey is supposed to be representing the drug free girl . . . she is refusing Brodie's cornstarch drugs! Good girl Hailey!

This is supposed to be a picture of how sad and depressing the druggie is . . . this girl did a great job! (she was actually quite a bright, perky, giggly sweet girl, oh, and tall)!

This is supposed to show how happy someone can be without drugs!

We forced Brodie to have his picture taken in the kitchen to prove that he isn't a mean, calloused drug dealer! He was such a trooper. I told Debra that he did such a convincing job that maybe she needed to keep a closer eye on him!!!! Just kidding!

Actually after Kurt, Hailey and I stayed up until 1:30 the morning of the day the PSA was due it turned out fantastic! Hailey and her group got an "A" and the teacher asked if he could keep the disc as an example for his students. He was quite impressed!

We used some music from a group called "The Shook Twins" - we can't really put it out there in the public because we didn't get permission to use it but Hailey and Kurt actually know these young ladies and are going to try to get permission to put it on YouTube! If we do I will make an announcement so you can see it for yourself. It was cool!
