Oxford’s Samuel Wheeler, who is in his first year with the SCCDAT organization, understands how important his role in SCCDAT is. It’s one that could be saving a life.
I feel like SCCDAT has benefited me by helping be able to better reach out to kids who are not doing well mentally,” Wheeler said. “And to help me connect with people who have gone through life problems.”
The SCCDAT program at Oxford, which started this year, has several programs throughout the school year that promote safety and wellness.
“The club helps do confidence walk by drawing with chalk positive messages and help coordinate events such as red ribbon week,” Wheeler said.
Not only does has the SCCDAT program shown Wheeler what it takes to help people and be a guiding hand in their life, but it has also given him opportunities to be at the forefront of events.
He would fully support anybody who is interested in joining.
“My recommendation would to definitely do it because it’ll help build your leadership and help prepare you for life,” Wheeler said.
