Informed Families, a Florida nonprofit devoted to helping kids grow up safe, healthy and drug-free, has announced two North Escambia area school have been named All Star Safe, Healthy and Drug Free Schools for 2017.

McArthur and Pine Meadow elementary schools were among 16 schools across the state to receive the honor.

To be eligible for All Star status, schools must complete the four prevention campaigns Informed Families sponsors throughout the school year:

Informed Families provides ambassadors everything they need and equips them with the information necessary to create a safer, healthier environment that fosters student success, both in the short term and the long run.

Schools and organizations honored as All Stars will receive $1,000 of prevention merchandise from NIMCO, Inc. for the next school year.
