Knowledge is Power: Improving Communication Skills with our Children and Learning about the Dangers of Vaping and Alcohol Use in Adolescents
Just as the older generation had to be educated about the dangers of smoking cigarettes, we are now in a place and time where our young people are faced with the challenges of VAPING. A new generation of nicotine addiction using e-cigarettes. We know that e-cigarettes are a better alternative then smoking but risks are present, especially to our youth. Come learn and talk about these risks.
Parents, please join us at Assumption on December 19, 2017 at 8:30 am to hear Donna O’Connor LCSW, LCADC and Lee Ann O’Leary LCSW give a talk entitled Knowledge is Power.
Donna and Lee Ann are Master Level clinical therapists in the field of Addiction and Mental Health with over 15 years of experience. They will help us; as parents; to improve our communication with our children and our knowledge of the dangers of drug, alcohol and Vaping use in adolescents.
Donna and Lee Ann will then speak to our 6th-8th grade students at 9:30 AM about the dangers of vaping and alcohol usage.
ATTENTION PRE-SCHOOL PARENTS
All pre-schoolers are required by the state of NJ to have a flu vaccine by December 31, 2017. If your child has not received it yet, please have it done and submit documentation to the nurse prior to the Christmas break. Any child who is not in compliance may not return to school in January. If you have questions you may reference NJAC 8:57-4 which explains the requirements.
We appreciate your cooperation.
