Please share!! These Gaffney and Blacksburg High school students make my job easy.  I don't think they understand how important they are.  Peer influence is such a big deal to today's teenagers. These pictures are from the RADA roundtables we participate in every year at local middle schools.   These high school students are rockstars to middle school students and their voices need to be heard.  I wish we had an army of high school students who RADA.   Shout out and a huge thank you to my buddy David Toney for creating this group in 2016, we're still going strong making legends!  All of the RADA members are not in these photos due to class schedules and other events. I thank them all for being a part of RADA, it's truly a lifestyle! Gaffney High School Blacksburg High School
