Click the link for current TTT-C activities!

TTT-C is a popular group that endorses a positive life-style, choices, rejecting drug/alcohol use, has fun, provides opportunities for increased self-esteem, and encourages the power of positive peer pressure.  An outing is held every month, which includes such things as tobogganing, a hayride, CAVS/Barons game, a Lock-In, Swings-N-Things, and an Indians game.  In addition, TTT-C supports service projects such as Red Ribbon Week, canned food drives for the needs, elderly partnerships, walk-a-thons and holiday gift giving.

This year Project Support has merged with TTT-C!  Project Support is a group designed to help support the students of Albion Middle School with special needs.  Project Support members can assist in the special education classrooms, accompany the special needs classes on their field trips and pre-vocational community based programming trips, and act as peer models. 

 

In addition, students who want to learn more about how to stay drug/alcohol free can attend a special training weekend (P.A.N.D.A. Camp).  Students participate in a variety of creative and exciting activities.  Meetings are held on the 1st Wednesday of each month from 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. with activities and some speakers.  This club is open to all students in both grades throughout the year.  Anyone can join at any time of the year!
