RITE AID DRUG QUIZ TEAM:  Seven sixth grade students are selected annually to participate in the quiz team.  Team members study a considerable amount of material, and practice answering questions under pressure.  They have a chance to compete at a local, regional, and state level each year.  The advisor for this club is Miss Dovi.    DUE TO LACK OF CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP, DRUG QUIZ TEAM DID NOT COMPETE THIS YEAR.  IT IS OUR HOPE THAT A CORPORATE SPONSOR IS FOUND TO REINSTATE THIS POSITIVE AND CHALLENGING PROGRAM ACROSS NYS
