Wellington High School junior Jessica Walker is a member of the varsity cheer team and the SCCDAT Athlete of the Month.
Walker got involved with SCCDAT (Sumner County Community Drug Action Team) after recognizing an opportunity to help her community.
“I got involved in SCCDAT my sophomore year. I joined because I saw this as a great opportunity and chance to make a change in my community and school,” said Walker. “I enjoy being a part of the team and planning different events to help raise awareness about drug and alcohol abuse.”
During the school year the members of SCCDAT do several activities to bring awareness to their cause.
“SCCDAT does many different activities and projects throughout the school year. We host a mock crash for prom, do sticker shock, banner contests, and many more,” said Walker.
Walker encourages anyone wanting to join SCCDAT to, “just do it.”
“It is such a great way to get more involved in your community and school and is such a great opportunity!”
