School Collaboration

BYFS is pleased to be collaborating with Bowie schools in a number of group efforts, these include:

Maryland Student Assistance Program is a Prince George's County School Board program. BYFS was instrumental in establishing this worthy endeavor in Samuel Ogle Middle School and Benjamin Tasker Middle School. Students who may be at risk for drug or alcohol abuse are reported to a committee within the school. After ascertaining that a problem may exist and getting parental approval, BYFS staff assesses the student for substance use. Referrals and treatment recommendations are then made to the parents.

National Red Ribbon Campaign is an annual, fall event that promotes school/community alcohol/drug awareness. This campaign involves activities in the local schools focusing on alcohol/drug awareness.

Project Save is a program that reaches Bowie elementary school children and their families with a positive message given through skills and highlighting the choice of a drug-free lifestyle.
