With the help of community sponsors, The Coalition presented scholarships to six outstanding Angelina County Drug-Free All Stars. The six Drug-Free All Stars were selected for their commitment to promoting a drug-free lifestyle to their community and their involvement in the program throughout the year. The 2020-2021 Drug-Free All Stars went above and beyond to promote a drug-free lifestyle to their community through an unprecedented year. The All Stars used many different resources to share drug-free message this year, including social media posts, podcasts, videos, and school presentations. The six Drug-Free All Stars selected to receive a scholarship were Emma Airington, graduate of Hudson High School; Jazmine Jamison, graduate of Hudson High School; Dulce Velasquez, graduate of Lufkin High School; Natalie Lopez, graduate of Diboll High School; Julissa Montoya, graduate of Diboll High School; and Madilyn Simmons, graduate of Pineywoods Community Acadmey. Thank you to the community partners who made these scholarships possible: Southside Bank; Southwood Drive Animal Clinic; Charanza Law Firm; Morgan Insurance/Bartlett, Baggett, & Shands; KSWP/KAVX; Contractor’s Supplies, Inc.; Carroway Funeral Home; Whataburger/GVCS; and East Texas Asphalt. Congratulations to the 2020-2021 Drug-Free All Stars for all their accomplishments and best of luck in their future endeavors.
