If Mullan Trail Elementary School fifth grader Tori Best could have a dream come true, it would be for the world to be rid of drugs and the harm they cause to users and their loved ones. "If you are a friend, you can help get your friend into a program or treatment. This can make the world a better place," she said. "Drugs are a thief."

Questions such as, "Would you shave your head for $1,000?" and, "Should students have to wear uniforms?" were asked during a frenzy of activity Tuesday afternoon as Lakes Middle School sixth graders stepped out of their comfort zones. Prompted by Chalkboard Agency founders Stu Cabe and Kevin Ozar, the students were tasked with talking to people they normally wouldn't during an all-day session of Connecting the Dots.

Celebrations events took place at NIC for Coeur d'Alene School District students and in the Post Falls High School auditorium for Post Falls fifth graders.
