WTI Washington Teen Institute
WTI is a prevention and modeling program at Rose Hill Jr. High. The primary purpose is to lead by example. The biggest area is in the area of drug abstinence. We accomplish this by hosting meetings where students learn about drugs and how to cope with peer pressure. We sponsor school wide assemblies to spread drug awareness. WTI has sponsored events in the past such as dances, fairs, walks, lunch time information sessions, signing drug free pledges, posting certificates of drug free parties, visiting elementary feeder schools to make presentations. WTI goes on field trips creating a safe, pressure free environment for students to have fun and interact. WTI has been to whirlyball, skating, (ice & wheels), Sounders, Traxx Cart Racing, Family Fun Center, Ski High, The Puyallup Fair, and Wild Waves. Mr. Thornley is the advisor. rthornley@lwsd.org
