Notes From Our Counselors
In October we will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week.
Red Ribbon Week® (October 23-31), the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the nation, is your opportunity to get the ongoing conversation started. This year’s theme is Celebrate Life. Live Drug Free.
Children of parents who talk to their teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don’t; yet, only a quarter of teens report having these conversations.
Visit www.redribbon.org to learn more about Red Ribbon Week® and get tips for talking to your kids about drugs. Also check out 50 Everyday Ways to Love Your Teen for tips on connecting with your teenager.Sarah Lloyd- 6th grade counselor: 847-756-2523 slloyd@barrington220.org
