PTA Community Spotlight

 

The Mt. Carmel High School PTSA is proud to announce our
Spring MC Media Sale.

We are asking for donations of gently used media (books, books on tape/CD, music CDs, DVDs, VHS, etc.) by the surrounding community to then sell at low prices back to the community March 21 thru 23 (donations accepted through March 19th). All proceeds raised will benefit the Library at the Mount. Click here for details.

Parent Awareness Forums
How to Protect Our Kids from the Dangers of Synthetic Drugs


Three forums have been scheduled for parents to learn about the dangers of synthetic drug use. Student Support Services Department, Safety Wellness Advocacy Community Coalition (SWACC), PTSAs, law enforcement and other community agencies have partnered to make this information available (alcohol abuse, binge drinking, marijuana and other drugs). Come learn about the new and dangerous synthetic drugs: Bath Salts, Spice, and K2 that are available to your students in our own communities.

February 15th at the Poway High Performing Arts Center
in partnership with the Poway High PTSA
6:30 – 8:30 p.m.

Parents, students and all community members are invited to attend. Resources and handouts regarding substance abuse will be available.
