Hello to all of you.

During the last several weeks and months I have been busy with phone calls, e-mails and personal visits to spread the news about the

National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy May 5th, 2010

I believe it to be an important issue that affects 100% of our young people and I know that parents should to take an active role in this.

How could you help?

• If you like to make personal contacts:

Have been visiting a lot of organizations and business to help in publicizing and possibly providing small tokens for our students as incentives.

• If you can make phone calls:

Calling people organizations and business is what works great.

• If you like to be at the school:

We need some several volunteers on May 13th at ROHS for the STAY TEEN In Royal Oak Event.

The Quiz will be live on May 5th (till the end of May) at: www.StayTeen.org

I understand if you can not make time and I will not judge anyone because of it. If you know someone that might be interested please let me know. And as always please let me know if you do not wish to receive e-mails of this kind.

More info at www.thenationalcampaign.org/national/ or contact Clemens Wittekind ROHS PTSA Health & Welfare Chair: ClemensWittekind@gmail.com

Happy Holidays to you.
