We must undertake and continue to hammer away educating our students and parents if we are to believe the grim statistics about AIDS in our young people. We have to turn these statistics around. What we say to our teenagers through PTA is only a beginning for the kind of communication our teens need from adults at home who are important to their lives and well-being. We hope that what we have done will provide an opening for adults to talk with their teens or a chance for teens to initiate conversation with caring adults. We have to quiet the panic and correct misinformation about this disease.
Education is our only hope.
Behavior trends are never reversed through ignorance. Our PTSA is working for an educated and healthy present and future for our students, faculty and community.
