Just Think: Teens Making Smart Choices

Join the Newton North PTSO for Just
Think: Teens Making Smart Choices, an expo
featuring approximately 30 community organizations. Parents/guardians and all those who help guide teens in making sensible decisions that will lead to a long, happy, and productive life
are one focus. Teenagers are the other focus. They can participate in
exhibitors’ enriching and fun activities, and they can also learn how to
navigate the challenges of academic, peer, and societal pressures in order to stay safe
and healthy. The expo will include several short
presentations and discussions on current issues teens face every day.

 Be one of the first
50 students who come with a parent and receive a goodie bag with a chance to
use the Newton North principal’s parking space for a week.  Come, have pizza and stroll Main Street at
Newton North High School on Wednesday January 22nd from 5-7:30 pm .
