Alcona Prevention Specialist Wears Two Hats

Prevention Specialist Les Thomas, who doubles as the Alcona athletic department announcer, never misses a chance to talk about work after hours.  Prevention messages are incorporated at all Alcona Tiger home games throughout the school year using the Substance Free Athletics curriculum.  Substance Free Athletics connects to athletes with information from the potential consequences of substance use on athletic performance.  On average, each event is attended by 100+ youth and approximately 100 adults – parents, coaches, and members of the community.
