Greetings,
Today, I became aware of two Woodson Pyramid Community Events that are taking place tonight and tomorrow evening. Each one focuses on educating our families about school-related issues. Please see important details listed below.
In addition, I welcome the opportunity to promote community-related events for all of my Braddock District schools. Please email them to me so I can include them in upcoming e-newsletters.
Cheers,
Megan

It has come to our attention that some students and parents seem to perceive vaping as a relatively innocuous activity that is less harmful than other tobacco products. The reality is that there is a growing body of evidence that vaping can harm people, especially adolescents.
Woodson is hosting a presentation to help our community stay informed about the current vaping trends (including Juuling) this Wednesday, February 21st at 7:00pm in the Woodson Auditorium (entrance 18). Vaping is the act of inhaling vapor produced by a vaporizer or electronic cigarette. The vapor is produced from a material such as an e-liquid, concentrate, or dry herb. New devices have little to no vapor and are therefore more easily hidden.
This presentation is open to parents, faculty and staff for the entire Woodson Pyramid.
Brian Maslowski, Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drug instructor from the FCPS Office of Student Safety and Wellness will be presenting the latest trends in vaping, e-cigarettes, and juuls. Mr. Maslowsk will have samples of these devices and will discuss the chemicals that adolescents use.
