Talking to Teens
Do you know what a marijuana plant looks like? How about where they grow? Do you know what illegal drugs are available to teens today, within our own communities?
Constable Eric Dawson, of the Ontario Provincial Police, who is on special assignment for the D.A.R.E. (Drugs Abuse Resistance Education) was the guest speaker for a special event, hosted by the Grove Society and the School Life Office, Wednesday, November 15th in the chapel.
The purpose of this event is to educate parents as to the potential threats that children may face in their in order to teach them how to protect themselves. The evening was both fascinating and informative.
John Runza, Head of School Life, shares, "Whenever OPP Constable Eric Dawson takes time to meet with parents, staff or students, it is time well spent. As a former undercover narcotics officer Eric has literally seen it all.
"During this particular discussion we learned some new information regarding street use of prescription drugs, the increasing concerns as crystal methamphetamene creeps ever closer to Peterborough, and the importance of being continually vigilant about the dangers of alcohol use upon our children.
"Eric is an insightfully engaging speaker who will be visiting LCS again in the new year to speak with our students." We would like to extend our appreciation to Constable Dawson for taking the time to educate us.
