The Norm Project is a Lee County School District prevention initiative, funded by a grant from United Way of Lee, Hendry, Glades, and Okeechobee, that seeks to correct misperceptions about alcohol and drug use. The Norm Project uses factual information to promote healthy behaviors that accurately reflect what's really going on with our teens, or the "norm."
During the 2013-14 school year, Student Services turned the media development of The Norm Project over to our creative and brilliant students by starting the annual student poster contest. All middle and high students across Lee County are eligible to participate. Each year, students vote on the best entries choosing up to 12 winners. Winning posters are then disseminated to all middle and high schools the following year to be hung and carry the message that most Lee County students are drug free!
