class, please have your student visit with the teacher of that class, as soon as possible,

requesting the teacher fix the attendance mistake. Mrs. Davis (attendance) cannot remove

Fight the New Drug is a non-profit organization that has been featured by ABC Nightline, NBC, CNN, and

and fact-based. Their assemblies are coming to every Jr. High and High School in Springville and Mapleton.

Parents are strongly encouraged to attend one of the parent presentations that are being held in

conjunction with the assemblies.

You can learn more about FTND at www.fightthenewdrug.org

At the parent meetings, Fight the New Drug will present all the information which will be given to the

students at the school assemblies, as well as additional information on how the pornography industry is

targeting children and teens, and what parents can do to better protect themselves and their families.

Attending the assemblies/parent presentations will also give you access to the online “Fortify” Fight the New

Drug pornography addiction recovery program.

A big THANK YOU to all the parents who brought the delicious food for our teachers and staff during the parent-teacher conferences and who volunteered time to pass out report cards.
