Today is the first day of No Vape November, a month designated by the Department of Health to educate youth about why it is important to stay vape free. It’s never too late to start talking with school-age children about the risks of vaping. As children age, they make more and more decisions on their own and face greater temptation and peer pressure. Though it may not seem like it, your children and teens really do hear your concerns. As parents, it’s important to help them understand what e-cigarettes and other vaping products are, and why they shouldn’t use them. Please join us this November in being #VapeFree #NoVapeNovember.
In order to honor all Veterans for their service, the Van Buren County School System would like to extend a special invitation for all Veterans and their families to join us on Friday, November 10th, for Breakfast and the Veterans Day Program.
