<p class=MsoNormal>Our ninth graders will be participating in a one-day
program, entitled “i2i,” which is intended to encourage
communication between kids and families to build safe, healthy and
substance-free communities. The program will be held on October 30, 2008,
when the Ninth Graders are the only students attending school. “i2i”
is described as “a peer-to-peer structured workshop building the
protective factors of school bonding and promoting healthy beliefs and clear
standards of behavior relative to alcohol and drug use.” <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The program also envisions a follow up evening sessions,
where kids and community members will “participate in a dramatically
effective question-and-answer session whereby teens have an opportunity to
speak candidly about the stressors and challenges they face and adults can share
“a-ha” moments of raising teens. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There is an opportunity for 10 to 12 interested parents to
participate in the i2i program with the students on October 30. <span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Parents would need to
be willing to commit to being there (MJHS Field house) from 8:30-3:00 and to
participate in the activities and discussions on an "equal level"
with the students. If you are interested in attending, please contact <a
href="mailto:peggy@jenkinsresearch.com">peggy@jenkinsresearch.com</a>.
You don’t have to be a ninth grade parent to participate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
