As prom and graduation season approaches, teens may feel pressure to party with alcohol and drugs. In anticipation of this high-risk period, the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign is reissuing a customizable version of the "Senior Year" Open Letter ad that you can use in your schools and communities to reach parents and encourage them to stay vigilant during prom and graduation time.

Although teen drug use is down 24 percent since 2001, surveys show that nearly one in three high school seniors was drunk in the last month, and more than one in five used an illicit drug. Last year, about seven in 10 prom-age teens said they would attend an after-prom party. By distributing the "Senior Year" Open Letter to parents in your community, you can help keep prom and graduation activities safe by encouraging parents to ask questions about their teens' plans and talk to them about saying no to drugs and alcohol, while still having a good time.

The Open Letter ad is now available for you to use, customize, and distribute to local media, your members, partners, and parents. To help further this important message in your community, consider these tactics:
• Add your organization's name and logo to the Campaign Open Letter ad;
• Recruit local signatories and insert local names and logos;
• Localize the national Campaign message on the ad; and
• Distribute throughout your community: school districts, newspaper ad buys, donated ad space, and town hall meetings.
The customizable version is easily downloadable from TheAntiDrug.com at: www.theantidrug.com/openletter/Senior_Year_Editable.pdf.  Other Open Letter ads and free resources are available at: www.TheAntiDrug.com/Resources.
