Sheridan High School’s Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) Chapter was recently named one of the co-recipients of the Jim Noffsinger Legacy Award for Outstanding Indiana SADD Chapter in 2018-19. Sheridan shared the honor with two-time winner Greensburg High School.
This school year, Sheridan SADD officers helped create and give a presentation exposing the dangers of teen vaping and nicotine addiction. The presentation has since reached nearly 20,000 students in schools throughout Indiana.
The award was named for the founder of Indiana SADD, Jim Noffsinger. It is given annually as a tribute to his legacy and his dedication to the health and well-being of Indiana’s youth.
In addition to the recognition, both chapters will receive $500 to use at their discretion for future chapter activities, and a plaque will be presented at the Indiana SADD Fall Kick-Off event.
