LCMR Stands UPP to Take the Pledge
By: Nicole Hornbeck
With substance abuse on the rise throughout Cape May County, Mrs. Nicole Caruso, the Substance Abuse Counselor at Lower Cape May Regional High School and Superintendent Mr. Christopher Kobik, decided to take action. Stand UPP is acronym for Uniting Parents for Protection.
“It’s a pledge for parents to take stating they will not allow nor condone underage drinking or drug use,” said Caruso.
Caruso stressed that “safety is number one” when it come to the students of LCMR, as well as all underage students in the nation. Stand UPP provides a network of concerned parents and informs them that there are faculty members like Caruso supporting the cause against substance abuse.
“Research shows that kids obtain their alcohol from their parents 90% of the time whether the parents are aware or not,” said Caruso.
With an overall purpose of decreasing exposure and use of drugs and alcohol, both Caruso and Kobik encourage parents to pledge not to allow nor condone underage drinking and drug use by signing the Stand UPP pledge, which can be found at www.lcmrschooldistrict.com.
