Celebrate Responsibly

Each spring, as high schools celebrate proms and graduations, teenagers all too often find themselves in situations where alcohol is involved. The Newspaper In Education (NIE) program would like your help in educating young people about the dangers of alcohol use.

With the help of generous sponsors, the NIE program is able to provide students and teachers with useful teaching tools, such as the online publication “Teenage Drinking: Too much, too soon ... too risky,” a 16-page study guide of relevant, thought-provoking, educational activities and discussion topics for pre-teens and teenagers.
