PTSA
Meeting March 14, 7:00 pm, SLHS Cafeteria
Vaping is
quickly spreading and parents are asking questions. To provide some answers we
invited Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs (ATOD) teacher Alicia Clarke to our
monthly meeting. Join us on March 14, at 7 pm, SLHS cafeteria for a talk titled
"Drug Awareness for Parents." Find out about the latest trends in
alcohol, nicotine and drug use in our county and get tips on how to keep your
kids drugs free.
