Westside Story Newspaper – Online The News of The Empire – Sharing the Quest for Excellence
Earlier this month, I partnered with the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health and the Department of Public Health to celebrate the incredible voices of our local youth at the Reel Reality: Fentanyl Awareness Film Contest.
High school students from across the Fourth District put their creativity to work, producing powerful short films that helped shine a light on the dangers of fentanyl and its devastating impact on our communities.
A huge thank you to the talented students from Chaffey, Chino, Don Lugo, Hillside, Montclair, Upland, and Ontario High Schools—your voices are making a difference, and your films are helping spark life-saving conversations.
The winners included:
- Montclair High School: Prevention and Awareness, Knowing Why, Fentanyl: Don’t Wait for the Silence
- Upland High School: It Can Happen to Anyone – Addressing the Stigma, Not Just a Statistic
- Upland High School: Fentanyl Doesn’t Care. But We Do. Ordinary Day
