Students in teacher Julie Wilson's class at Hopatcong High Schools gave their time Nov. 15 to help spread a message to area school children: Don't do illegal drugs.

The teenagers spent time removing anti-drug inserts from local newspapers; the inserts, which will be distributed to students at HHS, Hopatcong Middle School and Durban Avenue School, are comprised of anti-drug-themed slogans and artwork created by Hopatcong Borough Schools students.
