Project Sticker ShockOn Saturday May 21st, the NS CASA and Key Club teamed up to carry out Project Sticker Shock. CASA Youth Members Bella Martocci, Liam Brady, Atticus Bartlett, Gianna Stella, Ava Gibstein, Niko Stavrianos, and Katie DiTrano helped Mrs. Camardella and Mr. Burger coordinate the event and invite the members of Key Club. Stickers were distributed to many local businesses throughout North Shore, including Pezzi Pizza, Sea Cliff Bagel Cafe, Polish Kitchen, Choppers, Tre Sorelle, and Cactus Cafe. Each sticker has a unique activity that corresponds to a bucket list created by the CASA youth. This bucket list provides a range of activities to do, food spots to try, or places to visit, encouraging those more positive behaviors as an alternative to substance usage. You can find the full list on the NS CASA Youth’s instagram page @northshorecasayouth, and tag them with a photo of you completing a bucket list activity whenever you find a sticker throughout the community!
