Wednesday, March 31 – 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Kennedy Middle School Auditorium
Woburn Police School Resource Officer Division, Joyce and Kennedy PTO's are pleased to sponsor this free seminar for parents, teachers and other interested adults.
It seems that not a day goes by without reading about bullying, cyber-bullying, incidents of sexting and inappropriate use of social networking websites. The internet offers almost limitless opportunities to gain knowledge and make contact with others. When used appropriately, it is a powerful and positive tool. However, school staff and parents need to be aware of the risks inherent in this technology. Participants will learn about online issues impacting youth, such as social networking sites, predators, and sexting.
A member of the Middlesex DA’s office will do a two hour presentation on these important topics. Effective prevention and intervention strategies for teachers, school staff and parents will be outlined and discussed. The Middlesex District Attorney's Office Cyber Protection Program, created in 2007 by District Attorney Gerry Leone, will also be discussed.
For more information contact the WPD School Resource Office at 781-932-4510. |

Mini-grants must be requested from a youth involved group with an adult acting in a strictly advisory role. Grants requested must be between $100 and $1,000. The requested funds must be for a Community Service Learning (CSL) project and should involve youth volunteering to address a clearly defined community need.

SO SEXY SO SOON: The New Sexualized Childhood Our children are being bombarded with powerful sexual messages everywhere throughout popular culture. Girls are being encouraged to objectify themselves and obsess about their sex appeal and appearance at absurdly young ages, while boys get the message that they should seek sex but avoid intimacy. Jean Kilbourne, Ed.D., co-author of So Sexy So Soon: The New Sexualized Childhood and What Parents Can do to Protect Their Children, will address these issues using illustrations and examples of the sexual images and messages targeted at our children. Her presentation will examine the harmful consequences of the sexualization of children and teens and will suggest strategies parents can employ to counter the attack. Thursday, February 4 7:30-9:30 pm Galvin Middle School 525 Main Street Wakefield Tickets are $7 in advance, $8 at the door. For more information visit www.wakefieldparentpartnership.orgThis is the second in a series of three lectures planned for the 2009-2010 school year by The Wakefield Parent Partnership and made possible by donations from Wakefield School PTOs. |
