Do you know what a JUUL is? I certainly didn't. And I still wish I didn't, however, JUULs are becoming more and more popular, especially among teenagers. They are also SUPER easy to purchase. While you are supposed to be 18, there are MANY places near us (711, Power Mart, and more) that have no problem selling to our Vikings. What is a JUUL you ask? Take a look at THIS SHORT VIDEO and informational piece about what they are, how addicting they can be, and why our kids may have their hands on them.
Teen vaping is on the rise and, sadly, we are seeing students bring these to school (totally against school rules and illegal for students to have). These are so bad for our kids and we would love it if they were NEVER sold or given to our kids. Check out THIS ARTICLE to read about the harmful effects that these are having and how dangerous they are.....
**WARNING** What is next is sensitive and creepy**
Have you heard of the "Momo Challenge"? We have recently had students Googling this and had to do a little digging to get more information to share. Please take a moment to educate yourself on this VERY DISTURBING form of cyberbullying that can show up in apps such as WhatsApp and YouTube (even children's videos) through which they receive threatening messages from the creepy figure that shows up. Take a moment to watch the video, Google it yourself, and read THIS ARTICLE.
We have had several parents ask for additional resources, outside of GVMS, to support parenting their students. We are glad you asked! There are many resources on the Sullivan Inter agency Youth Services Center that can be used, including Parent Project from the FFPD! Take a look and get signed up!
