Dear Parents and Families, We are excited to begin implementing our Healthy Schools Initiative, with a focus on raising awareness about the risks of vaping and promoting healthy, informed decision-making among our students. Through this initiative, we will provide students with age-appropriate education about the health risks associated with vaping, the importance of making positive choices, and strategies for resisting peer pressure. Our goal is to foster a safe, healthy school environment where students feel empowered to make decisions that support their overall well-being. We appreciate your partnership in reinforcing these important messages at home. Together, we can help our students build healthy habits and make choices that positively impact their futures. Thank you for your continued support and partnership!
