Fremont
County School District #14, commonly referred to, as Wyoming Indian
Schools is a K-12 school district. This grant, which we call the
Wyoming Indian Schools’ “Dreamcatchers” GRAAP Project, will
provide intervention services/activities for our students (374) over
a three-year grant award period. We have chosen the title “Dreamcatchers” to
draw upon the Arapaho and Shoshone cultures to assist students in
developing goals and a personal vision that pays homage to the cultural
heritage
of our students and entices them toward a future of their own creation
that is a alcohol and drug free. In accomplishing this task, we will
implement a creative, unique approach to drug and alcohol prevention
involving evidence-based approaches which will provide interventions
that specifically target self-regulatory processes, decision-making,
goal-setting, cultural artistic/creative expression and community
service-learning/social responsibility all for the intended outcomes
of reducing high-risk
drinking behaviors and rejection of alcohol and drugs as the norm
within their lives and environment.
