What an amazing day for Front Royal! Executive Director Christa Shifflett and Deputy Director Celeste Brooks had the honor of attending the Royal Block Party held as part of King Charles and Queen Camilla's visit to Front Royal today! Congratulations and thank you to those who worked so hard to make this happen, especially Lori Cockrell, Lizi Lewis, and Joe Petty, who, as we understand it, did most of the planning without telling a soul. When it was time to share the news, our incredible Front Royal community didn't have much time to get ready, but everyone pulled together and made it happen! Well done!

Christa was one of a handful of nonprofit representatives to receive a "gold" invitation. We are deeply grateful to have been a part of this historic visit!

Today is . If you haven't shared any of our posts about fentanyl this month, please take a moment to share this one. Fentanyl is odorless and tasteless. It can be in any fake pill, even those labeled Adderall, and it is impossible to tell by looking at it or tasting it. A few grains of fentanyl are all it takes to kill someone. And sadly, there are often other substances mixed into the pills that could be just as deadly. Talk to the kids in your life. Make sure they know to never order pills online or take a pill from a friend. (Of course your friend doesn't mean to hurt you, but they can't control what is in a fake pill.)

Fentanyl Awareness Day is April 29th, and it provides a good opportunity to learn the facts about fake pills and the risks they pose. For example, did you know that it only takes 0.007% of an ounce of fentanyl kill you? That's about the amount that can fit on the tip of a pencil. And since fentanyl is odorless and tasteless, you can't tell if a pill contains it. And the idea of testing the pill? It's not much help. Fentanyl doesn't distribute evenly, so in the same bag of pills, you could have one pill that contains no fentanyl and the very next pill could contain that lethal dose. Don't play with your life.

Project COURAGE (Creating Opportunities for Understanding and Resilience Amid Gaining Our Education) provides support and hope to WCPS children in grades 5-8 who have experienced trauma.

We have served 77 incredible young individuals this school year.

Our professional, dedicated staff work one-on-one with these children, as well as their siblings, meeting with them weekly. They help the children develop self-directed goals. They reframe experiences and provide support, building resilience and fostering a sense of safety and connection.

Our staff also engage the parents/guardians in the process. Parents/guardians are contacted at least once a month to provide an update on services and assist the family with resources or other needs they may have, to help provide a stable home environment.

Learn more about Project COURAGE on our website and discover how you could become a mentor to one of these amazing children. Remember to sponsor or purchase a ticket for Let's Get Cheesy, which helps fund this program.

Early on in the opioid epidemic, injured athletes were likely to become addicted to opioids because they were overprescribed. Now doctors are usually more careful with how they prescribe them...but drug dealers peddling fake pills have no such concerns. In fact, drug dealers know that an injured athlete is the perfect target. But those illegal, fake pills are dangerous, full of things like fentanyl and xylazine. Stay safe. Don't use any medication that doesn't come from your doctor and/or a licensed pharmacy.
