Husker Great Calvin Jones to Speak at Assembly on "Shutting Out" Drugs and Alcohol

Former Cornhusker football player and Green Bay Packer Calvin Jones will present his life story and exhort students to stay away from drugs and alcohol at an assembly Wednesday morning at EVVMS.

Jones, a standout I-back, experienced the heights of success as a football player, but lost everything when he succumbed to the temptation of drugs and alcohol. Now on the comeback trail, he shares his story with youth in an attempt to help them avoid the pitfalls of substance abuse.


Jones' speech is part of the EVVMS "Four Pillars" leadership series focusing on goal-setting, preventing substance abuse, dealing effectively with bullying, and meta-cognition -- connecting actions and thoughts.
