Besides providing outpatient services and counseling, Northpointe Council promotes education as a way of preventing substance abuse.

The first recipient of the award? A Roy-Hart student!
Brianna Kugler, an 18-year-old senior at Royalton-Hartland, won the first award in October for her commitment to squash bullying. She attended special education classes through most of school.
“A lot of years, I was bullied,” she said. “I stick up for my younger classmates that are the ones being bullied right now.”
Kugler attends the Orleans Niagara Board of Cooperative Education Services to study early childhood education. After graduation, she plans to attend Niagara County Community College in hopes of becoming a preschool teacher assistant. She baby-sits, is involved in Roy-Hart’s drama club and has acted in plays at the Palace Theatre.
