Our Kids and Vaping
Unfortunately the prevalence of vaping in young people is on the rise in our county. For us parents of middle schoolers, we may feel a little clueless talking about vaping or even noticing if our kids are using this colorless, odorless substance.
In November, our middle school homerooms will be visited by a nurse and vaping expert to discuss the dangers of vaping (watch your homeroom communications for dates/times for your middle schooler as well as information on permission slips). Need to familiarize yourself with what vaping is and why it is dangerous for young lungs to start this conversation at home? Read more here at the Partnership to End Addiction.
