I'll be attending this important forum on student alcohol use as one
representative of the School Board.  I hope you will consider attending to
add your voice to the discussion.  If you have children, bring them too.
Our Superintendent told us about a recent conversation she had with some of
our high school students about alcohol.  When asked for ideas about what
could be done differently, a number of these students responded -- "Please
talk to our parents."  This is one opportunity where we can start that
conversation.
