OUR MISSION: To strive to influence our peers to make healthy and safe decisions in regards to not using alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

STUDs is Lake of the Woods School’s student-led prevention group — an energetic crew of young people in grades 6–12 who are passionate about making healthy choices and inspiring their peers to do the same. Being part of STUDs means being a leader, a role model, and a friend who shows up for their community.

And yes — we have a lot of fun doing it.

Jr. STUDs — Grades 6–8 Jr. STUDs meets bi-weekly and focuses on building a strong foundation of healthy decision-making, peer support, and community connection. Members participate in drug prevention education, community service, and school events.

Sr. STUDs — Grades 9–12 Sr. STUDs meets bi-weekly and takes on a leadership role in the school and broader community. Members plan and lead events, mentor younger students, and represent LWPC at community activities throughout the year.

• Participate in bi-weekly group meetings

• And more!
