Abstract The purpose of this grant is to reduce the amount of students that repOlt underage drinking and binge drinking. Statistics prove that western Wisconsin is a problem area when it comes to alcohol abuse. The YRBS survey reported that Osseo-Fairchild students are well above the state and national averages when considering underage drinking and binge drinking. In order to reduce the amount of underage alcohol use and abuse this program was designed to enhance and expand the comprehensive school health program of Osseo-Fairchild school district. The project focuses on three areas; student education and support, parent awareness and education programs, and staff education. Through a combination of evidence based curriculum, structured Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) activities outside of the classroom, opprotunities for parents to get involved and staff professional development an AODA program will be formed in effOlts of reducing underage drinking and increasing education, not only to the students, but to

their parents as well, of the dangers of underage drinking. There will be continuous added input from teachers, parents, and law enforcement to develop the curriculum and activities needed to form an effective fit for our community and make the program a success.
