FHS Pyramid Night April 25
Parents, join us Tuesday, April 25 at 6:30 pm for an educational evening supporting student wellness and safety! A variety of seminars will be offered to support families of different ages. Topic options will include social media and online safety, police interactions and the Hidden in Plain Sight (HIPS) program. The event is free and open to any parent/guardian in our pyramid; preregistration is required for the HIPS group.
Hidden in Plain Sight: The bedroom of an average teenager can look like a well-planned illusion. The trick to seeing through an illusion is knowing what is used to create that illusion. We present a typical teenager's bedroom and discuss items and objects found there that could indicate risky behavior. A PowerPoint presentation will describe each prop and how that object could be a tool in a risky behavior.
The program is open to adult audiences ONLY and is a free ticketed event. Young people are not permitted in the program. This program is designed to educate parents on recent trends and to assist their child in finding the proper help if a risky behavior is detected. Register for the Hidden in Plain Sight program here: https://bit.ly/ffxhships23
