On Wednesday, October 2 the district will host a Community Wellness Fair beginning at 5:00 PM at Upper Moreland High School. Join us for a fun way to learn about the great services available in our community, support local businesses, & enjoy family-friendly activities.

What are the challenges you are facing as parents, guardians, and educators? Our presenters will address the potency of today's cannabis, other substances, impaired driving, and more, with a special focus on teens and emerging adults.

We'll also provide a tour of our Mock Teen Bedroom,* which helps adults to identify signs of substance use, and trends that put kids at risk, such as cannabis, vaping, and alcohol.

Together, we'll develop the tools we need to support young people!

*Attendees must be 21 years old to tour the "Mock Teen Bedroom"
