ANTI-TOBACCO AND
ANTI-VAPING CAMPAIGN
 |
|
The National PTA, and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids are committed to educating youth, parents, school boards and local officials about the dangers of e-cigarettes and other tobacco products. Your PTSA is running its own campaign beginning this February! |
*At our next general meeting on February 15th at 6:30 p.m. in the school library, we will host a guest speaker on the topic of tobacco use and vaping among our youth. Stacey King is a licensed clinical social worker and the substance abuse prevention specialist for the Chantilly Pyramid.
You must be 18 or older to attend. Ms. King will discuss the harms of tobacco use and vaping and will provide information about the latest trends in tobacco/vape use in our community. She will also talk about ways parents can initiate productive conversations with their children. There will be time for a question-and-answer session, and literature will be available in both English and Spanish. Light refreshments and student-provided childcare will be provided.

If you would like to get involved with the campaign, whether it be for one event or for its duration, please email Nina Zaretsky at secretary@chantillyhsptsa.org
