TADA (Teens Against Drugs and Alcohol) is a group of Anti- Drug teens at Abington Junior High School. This year we have over 550 members in our group. This is the largest organization in the school. The emphasis of the group is on providing clean and fun drug-free activities and giving the members the opportunity to make friends with other students who are also drug-free.

Every member must sign a pledge form, promising to stay away from cigarettes, alcohol, and all other drugs.

We have at least one activity per month on Friday nights. Some of our activities include:

• Trips to 76ers games
• Trips to Beat Street
• Trips to Happy Tymes for Bowling 
• Karaoke Dance
• Unique Entertainment Game Show
• Unique Entertainment Board Game
• TADA Games: 200 of our members are broken into teams and participate after school in athletic activities for two weeks in June. This provides students with an extra-curricular activity after school sports are over.

We also have guest speakers and assemblies to teach the members about the effects of drugs.

Most TADA members also participate in sports and are in other clubs. Being in TADA does not preclude the students from being in other activities. Participation in other activities is actually encouraged, and our students get "points" for their participation. TADA is a wonderful way for students to make friendships that will last a lifetime.
