One thing I have found is that the more parents that attend it seems to have a bigger impact. What's really hard is if I were a parent of a student in high school I probably wouldn't have gone either.
After all, MY KID WOULD NEVER DO THIS!
This time Susan Mayberry, the teacher sent out this e-mail blast to every parent. I really hope there is a packed house and we are scrambling to get more parents in the room.
Dear Parents and Family Members,
Each semester in our Health Science "A" course, we cover the topic of addiction. Within this
curriculum topic we invite a community member into visit with our students.
Mr. Ron Grover will be presenting on Thursday, September 18, 2014 from NOON until 1:15pm. He will also be speaking on Friday, September 19th, 2014 from 9:10am-10:38am, and again from NOON until 1:15pm.
We are inviting you and your family to attend one of these presentations. Mr. Grover will speak with our Health Science "A" students (your child) in regard to what it is like if a person chooses to use drugs. What this will look like, and be, from a parent's perspective.
Mr. Grover volunteers as a Parent Ambassador for The Partnership at Drugfree.org and also has his person blog, http://parentsofanaddict.blogspot.com/ that shares several accounts of what it is like to live with an addict.
We hope that you can attend one of the three opportunities listed above. For seating purposes, please email me with your name, WHEN you plan to attend, and the number of persons you are bringing.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

We are looking forward to Mr. Grover's presentation. No question in regard to his family and
addiction is out-of-bounds. This is a SAFE environment in which to ask questions or listen to
the truth about what drugs do to a person and his/her family.
Sincerely,
Susan D. Mayberry

I would love to see you speak Ron. Could you video tape it so we all can see it?
What you are doing is such a blessing to these kids and their Parents.
I probably would not have gone either honestly...My Son would never do it either.
Parents need to hear it just as much as the kids.
Good luck Ron!
I echo Tori and would like to hear you. You do a great service.
