What is a OW2P Assembly?
OW2P is about urgency
In the wake of our country's rash of teen problems, including drug and alcohol abuse, administrators, superintendents and parent groups are desperately searching for answers. Behind all of the rhetoric of new and improved programming, curricula and focus groups, there is a glaring need for relevant, engaging and challenging interaction with students about this issue.
The answer is the One Way 2 Play Drug Free! assembly program as presented by former San Francisco Forty-Niner Guy McIntyre. Guy is the Bay Area spokesman for FCA’s One Way 2 Play Drug Free! program.

OW2P is about decision making
Throughout the presentation, students will have the opportunity to examine their personal decision-making process. They will gain an understanding of the elements in their world that shape the decisions they make. Volunteers selected from the audience will participate in an illustration that helps demonstrate the challenge of making right choices in the face of peer influence.
OW2P is about relationships
Nothing is more pressing in the lives of today’s students than the variety of aspects concerning their relationships, -- boyfriend-girlfriend, best-friend or just the folks one hangs around. One of the most impacting portions of the assembly is the dialogue about relationships. How do we select our friends? Whom do we allow ourselves to get close to? How do we treat others? Here we also unveil ways in which we sabotage our hearts through compromise as a result of poor relationships.

OW2P is about self-esteem
One of the best ways to let the air out of peer pressure is to value oneself. At that point, one is able to stand against the most powerful influence in the lives of teens today, peer influence. Students, through a series of illustrations, learn that the only thing they possess more valuable than themselves is their honor. At this point students are presented with the challenge to have enough courage simply to be themselves.
