Rotary Club president Susan Bracken Wright presented the school with a $1,500 check during this year's appreciation barbecue for law enforcement officers in northwest Georgia.

The school, along with the Rome-based Community Criminal Justice Foundation, plan to use the money to establish a criminal justice scholarship named for Judge Norman Fletcher, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia, who retired in 2006.

The appreciation barbecue was held May 4 at The Forum in downtown Rome. In addition to great food, the hardworking men and women of northwest Georgia law enforcement were treated to music, door prizes and other fun.

ATLANTA -- Last weekend's National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day was a big success in Georgia, with residents turning in an estimated 6,913 pounds of unwanted medication.

This number greatly exceeds the amount of drugs collected during the last take-back event in October, where Drug Enforcement Administration officials collected about 3,794 pounds.

Nationally, the event saw Americans turn in approximately 276 tons (552,161 pounds) of drugs.

"The Prescription Drug Take-Back campaign was a huge success," Harry S. Sommers, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Field Division, said in a statement. "This event was critical in stemming the tide of prescription drug abuse in this country."
