Sage Stage- Rocky Herron
This week’s Sage Stage will have a serious and important message. Rocky Herron will be presenting about the dangers of Fentanyl. Rocky was a DEA agent who was on the front line of the drug war. Over his career, he realized we aren’t going to win this war through raids and seizures but through education.

Rocky’s amazing presentation will have everyone in the audience silently listening to his powerful story. His mission is to empower students to make smarter choices by showing them the true impact of substance abuse on the individual, the family, the school, the city, the nation, and the global community. We encourage our upper elementary, middle school, and high school students to attend as well as parents.

Students are encouraged to showcase their talents in the areas of dance, film, music, photography, and visual arts.

This year’s theme, “World Changers” encourages students to explore their passions and dreams and imagine the incredible ways that they can positively impact their family, school, community, and the world! Winners will be chosen based on the interpretation of the theme, creativity, and artistic technique. Specific contest details and a link to the entry form will be sent later this week in a separate email and posted on the Sage Oak website. All entries must be submitted by Friday, November 18th.
