| YOUTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION COMING TO LT |
|
|
LT is excited to announce a youth violence prevention program that will be introduced to students and staff at the beginning of March.
The
Say Something program teaches students how to look for warning signs and signals, especially in social media, from individuals who might be a threat to themselves or others, and to Say Something to a trusted adult to get them help.
The Say Something program was developed by Sandy Hook Promise and the Say Something call to action week will take place at high schools throughout the country March 2-6.
During the week, LT counselors and our SAVE (Students Against Violence Everywhere) Promise Club will have a variety of activities, giveaways and valuable information for students and staff.
The Say Something program is not just a school initiative. Parents are also urged to participate in the program and follow these important, potentially life-saving strategies at home. Click

ILLINOIS YOUTH SURVEY SCHEDULED FOR FEB 25
|
|
|
|
LT will once again participate in the Illinois Youth Survey. Students will take the survey Tuesday, February 25, during the regular school day. The purpose of the survey is to gather information that will help LT better meet the educational, social, and emotional needs of students. It will also aid in planning and implementing important prevention and intervention programs to reduce youth substance use and associated risk behaviors.
The survey is entirely anonymous and voluntary. Students will not put their names or any other identifying information on the survey booklet. LT will receive a report of overall results, but not know which students gave which responses. All results from the survey will be presented to the school in a group summary format only. Please don't hesitate to contact LT at (708) 579-6300/6500 if have questions regarding the Illinois Youth Survey.
