Parent Coffees

  Barrington High School, C271

 5/22, 9a 

 

The May Parent Coffee topic is - Risky Business: Teens and Summer Vacations. Summer is a time of fun and relaxation, but it also provides many opportunities for our children to make risky choices. Please join us for conversation on how to keep redirect your children to healthier, safer choices and how to navigate all the potholes that could develop while traveling that path. 

 

Parent Coffees are an informal opportunity for any parent in the Barrington area to learn about the featured topic from a local or regional expert and participate in an open discussion. 

 

Past Coffee Notes/Presentations:

 

 

Everyone is welcome to stay for the Coalition meetings that follow the Coffees. Future topics are being finalized and the website will be updated in the next few weeks.

 

Illinois Youth Survey  slides shared at the March meeting for Prairie Middle School PTO. Please contact Liz Nelson  with the Lake County Health Department for questions or concerns.
