Attorney Terry Gryder educates students about the consequences of drug possession

Friday, October 21, 2011

In the summer of 2000, a team of four students from Chesterfield County high schools attended a leadership conference with Virginia's Youth Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Project. After learning of the risks and severe consequences associated with drug and alcohol abuse, those students decided to take matters into their own hands and educate their peers about what they had learned. They developed a program that enlists school and county officials to enact a real-life drama and educate middle school students about the consequences of drug possession on school property.

Sponsored by Chesterfield Youth Planning and Development, "Student vs. Marijuana" is a live presentation that takes place annually at middle schools throughout Chesterfield County. Seventh-grade students watch the dramatization of a student caught carrying marijuana at school. The student goes on to face both school and legal consequences, including expulsion, a drug possession charge, a suspended driver's license, and juvenile detention followed by a probation period.

Terry Gryder is serving as the student's defense attorney in this year's "Student vs. Marijuana" presentations. During the program, her role is to defend the student (who pleads not guilty) during a trial in the 12th District Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.  The cast also includes representatives from the Police and Sheriff's Departments, the Juvenile Probation Department, the Commonwealth Attorney's office, the 12th District Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, and officials from each participating school, all of whom perform their real-life roles. Attorney Gryder and the other professionals who have volunteered their time have done so with the hope that students will leave the presentation with a greater understanding of the serious consequences of drug or alcohol possession.

Lady Raiders' dance team coordinator crowned Ms. United States

Thursday, August 04, 2011
What happens in Vegas starts in Richmond, Virginia... Congratulations to Laura Eilers, dance team coordinator for Richmond's Lady Raiders, for being crowned Ms. United States in the 2011 national pageant!

Laura has been the coordinator of the dance team and a game-day emcee since the Richmond Raiders Professional Indoor Football Team's first season in the River City. She was crowned Ms. United States at this year's competition in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 14.

Laura plans to apply her experience as a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor to promote her "Let's Move in Schools!" program and encourage an active, healthy lifestyle in America's youth. She has worked with local schools to institute fitness programs for kids, and will now have the chance to encourage healthy habits on a national scale. Ms. United States will also support Richmond's "Soles for the City" campaign this month to collect athletic shoes for local children and their families. For more information about Laura and her initiatives, visit the Ms. Virginia USA website here.

Happy Independence Day!

Friday, July 01, 2011

On Thursday, July 4, 1776, the United States of America declared independence from England and a new nation was born. On Monday, 235 years later, Americans will flock to backyards, barbecues, and baseball diamonds to celebrate that independence and rejoice in the American spirit.

If your Independence Day festivities include American (or imported) spirits, remember to celebrate responsibly. Extreme heat, alcohol consumption and a boat or motor vehicle can be a dangerous combination.

 

Keep it simple this Fourth of July: If you’ve been drinking, don’t get behind the wheel of a car or boat.

 

   Happy Independence Day

   from the Paullin Law Firm team!
