Arrowhead comes together for a community educational event

Tuesday, February 17th, the community of Hartland, Wisconsin, came together for a educational event held by speaker Robert Stutman at Westbrook Church.

From 5:45- 6:30 P.M. will be the Resource Fair followed by the program that Mr. Stutman will be talking in from 6:30-8:00 P.M.

Westbrook Church, located at 1100 State Highway 83, Hartland, Wisconsin, hosted Stutman as he discussed teenage accidental deaths due to drug overdose.

According to TheStutmanGroup.com, Stutman made a 25-year career as one of America’s highest profile drug busters and is considered to be one of the nation’s top experts on drugs.

Stutman has gained awards and honors for his work among the community throughout the United States from the U.S. government and other countries.

In 1990, Stutman established The Stutman Group, a management consulting firm that designs comprehensive and practical substance abuse prevention for communities and school systems.

Stutman held an assembly for Arrowhead students at North Campus on Wednesday, February 18th and at South Campus on February 17th.

Students were asked to report to their first hour classes for introductory activities and then reporting to the gym at 7:45 A.M.

Morgan Merbeth, a senior from Arrowhead, said she thinks it will be a good experience for all Arrowhead kids and that we will be moved by the presentation.

“I’ve heard about the heroin problem throughout the county from kids our age and I think it’s a good idea that they are going to schools and getting the message across about how damaging it is,” said Merbeth.

Kenzie Huckstorf, a senior from Arrowhead, said guest speakers that have come to Arrowhead have had an impact on her.

“In the past when guest speakers have come, I’ve always felt that I was impacted by what they message they are sending out to us. Last year when they the assembly on drunk driving, it really made me scared for myself and others,” said Huckstorf.
