Discovery of white powder at HHS PLN #9

In the article about the discovery of a white powder in a students locker, It was crazy to see how things can be discovered so quickly. In this article an ill student went home and soon after there was a discovery of a white powder in his locker! I think that the discovery of the powder will later benefit the future security of all the littleton public schools. Since the discovery is such a big deal, this might scare some of the other students that might be doing drugs as well. Quickly after Littleton Fire officials to order the evacuation of Heritage High School in the littleton public schools district.A Littleton Fire Department chief Jay Ruoff, had said that the officials have no idea what the substance is despite an initial field test that was "inconclusive". Ruoff said that the powder was found in a gym bag and is being sent to a laboratory for even further testing. Six including two school employees and four students were sent to a local hospital as a result, the school was also closed 40 minuets early, all of the after school events were canceled on Monday. What matters in this article is the awareness needed in order to solve the problems that America is having with kids and drugs. This greatly affects the world around us because, since people are getting more aware of the problems with high school kids and the ones who are using drugs in the schools. How this affects me is, I think that to hear about the use of drugs could be helpful because it might make people know that drugs really mess up lives of the people that use them.
