Hello Middle and Upper School Families,

It is often difficult to keep up with the current information about drug and alcohol use by teens today. To help us better understand the current research and climate of teen drug and alcohol use, the New Albany Police Department has invited all of you to this important and informative program. This event is sponsored by NAPD in order to raise awareness of teen drug and alcohol use, and there is no cost.

“Hidden in Plain Sight” uses a simulated teen bedroom to identify potential warning signs and is led by HART (Health Awareness & Recovery Together). Parents, educators, coaches, youth leaders, caregivers, advisors and others who connect with youth are invited to attend Monday, March 11, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at New Albany Intermediate School. The Pitabilities food truck will be serving free food from 5:00-6:00 p.m.

We strongly recommend that parents/guardians or anyone who is charged with the care of tweens and teens take advantage of this educational opportunity.

Sincerely,

Suzanne Ritter, Ph.D.

Chair for Student Support Services
