OASIS on the Move: Supporting Healthy Choices This School Year

OASIS is gearing up for another year of supporting the healthy choices that most of our Stoughton youth are already making and also continuing to work at preventing local youth from using alcohol and other drugs.

The following is another column from (Organizing Against Substances In Stoughton), a coalition of representatives from: the Stoughton Youth Commission, Schools, Police, District Attorney’s Office, Juvenile Court, Chamber of Commerce, Local Clergy, as well as various agencies within the community.
