Did you know that the teen years are often used as a time to explore and learn more about one's self as you approach adulthood? Often, this includes experimenting and testing boundaries. Sound familiar? The desire to do something new or risky is a normal part of teen development, but what YOU choose to do is up to you. Make safe and smart choices by avoiding substances - your life depends on it. Celebrate Red Ribbon Week and stop by Mrs. Luthy's room during LUNCH to write your name on a raffle ticket to be eligible to win a gift card! Names will be drawn at the end of the week. Tomorrow is Halloween Day!
