Are you underestimating the health risk of vaping or juuling?
Parents, please take the time to read this article to your teenager. A large number of people believe e-cigarettes are a safer way to consume nicotine, and that nicotine isn't harmful .But that's not true. Each nicotine cartridge inserted into the Juul (called a pod) gives about 200 puffs, providing as much nicotine as a whole pack of cigarettes, per the website.

Scavenger hunt and Thanksgiving fun for our teachers and staff to kick off the long break. We had 15 sneaky turkeys hidden around the Jr. High/High School area today and each turkey came with a prize. Our office staff even found a live turkey in the teacher workroom. They were hoping they'd get double points. 🦃🙊
Happy Thanksgiving!!
