When: Tonight, 7:00PM
Where: Starbucks Coffee Shop in the Golden Nugget Hotel

Attend the summit on Tuesday:
When: 8:30 AM, Tues., April 24, 2007

Learn more about student drug testing:
Drug testing is humiliating, costly and ineffective, but it's an easy anti-drug sound bite for the White House. Student testing breaks the trust between children and adults, and drives students away from extracurricular activities. What's more, studies even show that student drug testing doesn't work to deter drug use. Read the story of how one student's life was turned upside down by drug testing.
