<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Parents,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The minutes for the PST’s May meeting, the final
meeting of the school year, are attached. One topic of interest was a
presentation by counselor Charlie Gerke about the Latah County Youth Advocacy
Council. The LCYAC is a group that serves youth and communities
throughout Latah County. Its mission is to promote “positive youth
development opportunities” (kind of like our mission as
parents!). The LCYAC is always looking for parent and community involvement,
and they could use YOUR enthusiasm and ideas. If you’d like to
learn more check out their web site: <a href="http://www.latah.id.us/yac/">http://www.latah.id.us/yac/</a>;
or call their prevention coordinator, Gail Silkwood at 883-2268.<o:p></o:p></p>
