STICKER SHOCK 2019
The Coginchaug Regional High School and Strong Middle School E.D.G.E. members concluded their
2018-2019 school year with the annual STICKER SHOCK CAMPAIGN. In collaboration with
Durham Wine and Spirits, the E.D.G.E. members lead this campaign to educate, and remind, those of age to purchase alcohol, that doing so for the purpose of allowing minors to drink is against the law. The E.D.G.E. students visited Durham Wine and Spirits to place stickers on cases of beer with the hope to remind those purchasing alcohol of the law. The campaign is a great way for the E.D.G.E. members to complete their school year campaigns as prom, graduation, and other end of the school year milestones are celebrated, with the hope to lower the instances of underage drinking.
