Tomorrow is the Junior Prom!
10 Prom Night Safety Tips for Teens
- Never leave a drink unattended or take a new drink from a stranger
- Set up a ride to and from prom
- Never drive impaired
- Never get in the car with someone that you know has been drinking – even if they say they are fine to drive
- Wear seatbelts when on the road
- Keep your phone charged – you never know when you may need to use it
- Stick with your friends – don’t wander off alone and don’t let friends wander off alone
- Share your location with your parents – you never know when you may need their help
- Have fun!
8 Prom Night Safety Tips for Parents
- Download Life360 to ensure your teen is protected by crash detection, SOS alerts, emergency dispatch, and location sharing
- Talk about the dangers of drug and alcohol use
- Set rules for your teen, but don’t be unrealistic or too strict
- Hire a ride to and from prom – if you don’t give them the option to get in the car with a drunk driver, they won’t.
- Create trust with your teen – promise they won’t get in trouble for drinking if they call you for help. This reduces the chance they will make life changing decisions.
- Confirm the location of any prom after parties
- Be ready for a phone call from your teen, and be open to driving them home from the after party
- Open your home to the after party – if you are able to ensure a safe environment, you can ensure that teens are safe in your home.

SEPTA Bowling Scholarship Fundraiser
Thank you to everyone who supported our SEPTA (Special Education Parent/Teacher Association) bowling scholarship fundraiser at Bowlero Lanes in Webster on Sunday, April 24th. We had the best turnout ever with 131 bowlers participating (this includes students, teachers, retirees, administrators, the Board of Education, staff from our District Office and community members). We also received donations from several local businesses and families to use in our huge raffle drawings. The outpouring of support from our community has truly been amazing, especially since we haven't held this event in 5 years due to the pandemic. A special thank you to the many volunteers who donated their time and to the following for their sponsorship to put towards our scholarship fund: The Webster Community Chest, The WTA (Webster Teachers Association), Elmer W Davis and Rosemary and Pete Beckhorn. As of today, we have raised $4,000!! We hope to see you all again next year and please recruit your family and friends to join us for this awesome fundraiser. ~Dina Malboeuf (Event Coordinator)
