Gulf students hear "Michael's Message"

Brad Alumbaugh, parent of Michael Paul Tiedemann Gulf High School hosted an educational drug awareness program called Michael's Message on April 23, 2002.

Michael's Message Foundation, Inc., was founded to educate the public about the dangers of GHB and other designer drugs by Brad and Debbie Alumbaugh, the parents of Michael Paul Tiedemann, who died in 1998.

Michael's parents have shared "Michael's Message" with students, parents, and community leaders throughout Florida. They have testified before the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy, and Human Resources in Washington.

Students in grades 9 through 12 attended the presentation in the Activity Center during the day, and a parent forum was held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. to allow Michael's parents to share their message with parents and community leaders.

School social worker Wendy Kall promised that Michael's Message would be a powerful and moving presentation, and afterwards students who attended the presentation agreed.
