PRINCIPAL’S COFFEE PRESENTATION ON THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND YOUR TEEN:
I actually have two Principal’s Coffee programs set up for the next couple of months dealing with your teen, social media, and growing up emotionally healthy in today’s complicated world. Our first principal’s coffee and program is on Friday, March 4th in the Lecture Hall from 9-10:30 AM.  Our Hopewell MS Resource Officer will present information on the negative and legal impact of social media and your teen.  They will cover an array of topics from a legal perspective and will answer any questions on the matter that you may have.  At the conclusion of our program, our current Hopewell PTA will hold a brief meeting to nominate new officers for next year’s PTA.  Principal's Coffee 1.pdf

Our second Principal’s Coffee program, HELP ME, I HAVE A TEENAGER, will be held on Friday, April 1st from 9-10:30.  The presenter will be Annie Drake who is an author and family/ adolescent therapist and counselor.   She will be discussing the challenging adolescent period for both teens and parents.  Both events will give you some additional insights to help both you and your teen navigate through these sometimes trying times. One thing is for sure before you know it your middle schooler will be a senior in high school getting ready to graduate and go off to college.  That’s what’s happening in theWaggoner household this year.   Hope to see you there if you can make it.
