On Tuesday May 16, staff, students, and community members gathered at Gloria Willis Middle School for a presentation on the Dangers of Fentanyl. Members from the Police and Fire Department joined to spread awareness about the powerful drug. Captain Diaz of the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department lead the presentation with important information many may not know about fentanyl.

After local law enforcement spoke, Andy Barris took the stage to deliver an emotional presentation. Andy has experienced the dangers of fentanyl first hand as he lost his son to fentanyl earlier this year. 
 
If you were not able to make it out to this event, please stay connected. The Enough is Enough Initiative and Kansas City, Kansas Public School will be providing more opportunities in the near future for our community to learn about these dangers.
