    Family Alcohol Education Program

    In anticipation of a healthy and safe holiday season, we would like to announce the roll-out of our Family Alcohol Education Program, designed to facilitate productive conversations about alcohol between families and students. The harmful consequences of underage drinking have long-lasting impacts, but underage drinking is preventable. With your critical help, we can support the health and well-being of our students. To help you with these important conversations, we are providing some resources and a video.
