YAKIMA, Wash. -- Barge-Lincoln, Garfield, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Roosevelt elementary schools are holding special assemblies this week to focus on drug and alcohol awareness and prevention.
LaMar Hudson, the special guest speaker for all four assemblies, will talk about "Drug Free for Life" and "Don’t Be a Knuckle Head, Don’t Be a Bully."
According to his website, Hudson grew up in a family marked by domestic violence, alcohol abuse and neglect. For the past 15 years, he’s been speaking about his experiences in a series of presentations for youths.
Here’s his Yakima schedule:
• 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Martin Luther King, Jr.
• 10 a.m. Wednesday, Garfield
• 2 p.m. Wednesday, Barge-Lincoln

The assemblies are sponsored by the Yakima Schools Foundation.
