[Mjhsteam] Family Night Details and other news

[Margaret C. Jenkins]

Dear Parents,

 

Here is a last update (I promise) on the January 29th parent night:

 

We'll start serving dinner at 6:00 p.m.  Your whole family is invited.
We'll have tacos, with Chips and Salsa Provided by Patty's Mexican Kitchen
and Catering.  We expect to continue serving until 6:45, so don't worry if
you're running late.

There will be child care available at no charge to kids ten and under from
6:30 until the program ends at about 8:15.

 

At or around 6:30, there will be a presentation on teenage brain development
and the influence of media, advertising, technology and social norms on teen
decision making, with emphases on social pressures, teen stressors, underage
drinking and violence.  

 

At about 7:15, there will be a panel discussion with featuring several MJHS
students.  The students will discuss "What Our Parents and Other Adults Need
to Know About Life as a Teenager" and "What Teenagers Need from the Adults
in Our Lives".  Students and parents in the audience will have a chance to
ask questions (and hopefully can continue the discussion later.)

 

When the panel ends at 8:15, we'll have a drawing to award 2 $50 ipod gift
certificates to students and $100 grocery gift certificates to adult
participants.

 

We hope all of you can make it!  If you can let us know in advance, it would
help us plan for food and child care (but we'd like to see you even if you
don't RSVP).  Just respond to this email.

 

In other news, don't forget Saturday's Pet Vaccine Clinic!  Proceeds benefit
