Vaping - information & resources for families

Supporting the academic, emotional, and physical wellbeing of each child is the responsibility of our entire East Prairie community, and requires authentic collaboration between the school, families, and community organizations.  As such our school is taking a leading role in responding to the increase in vaping amongst teens. On the evening of Tuesday, November 19th, East Prairie will be hosting Dr. Susan Sirota for a parent session focused on teen vaping and upcoming legislative changes regarding marijuana.  This opportunity is generously sponsored by our PTA and is open to all East Prairie and township families. 

The following articles - Teen Vaping: What you need to know & Quick Facts on the Risks of E-cigarettes for Kids, Teens, and Young Adults - were shared with our middle school students as part of my regular communications with them.  My aim is to provide our children with information and supportive resources so that they are empowered to make responsible decisions.  Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss further.
