It’s here and you should be aware. Fentanyl has found it’s way into the community.

Mineral Wells ISD will host a program on November 9th at the High School Cafeteria for anyone to come hear a Drug Enforcement Agent explain about fentanyl and the deadly situation facing the country and our community.

MWISD is actively supporting the “One Pill Can Kill” Fentanyl Awareness Campaign in collaboration with the Texas Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). As part of their commitment to the safety and well-being of the community, they invite you to a crucial in-person event to raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl.

There will be a guest panel of law enforcement officers and medical experts who are seeing first-hand the problems we are facing.

The DEA’s “One Pill Can Kill” campaign aims to educate the public on the risks associated with counterfeit pills and ways to protect our community. Shockingly, 7 out of 10 pills tested for fentanyl contain lethal doses of this dangerous substance. We urge everyone to engage in this essential conversation with their loved ones.

To make the evening more enjoyable and informative, the school has arranged refreshments. The MWHS BBQ team will be providing delicious brisket sandwiches, and you can enjoy chips, cookies, and drinks courtesy of PPGH.

Your presence at this event will contribute to building a safer and more informed community. Please mark your calendars for November 9th at 6:00 PM in the high school cafeteria, and together, let’s take a stand against the dangers of fentanyl.
