During Parent-Teacher Conferences at Lincoln Intermediate, parents had a unique opportunity to explore the Hidden in Plain View trailer, brought to us by the Rotary Club of St. Francois County. This interactive experience provided a realistic look at a teenager's bedroom, highlighting positive influences like family, music, and sports while also raising awareness about potential risk factors such as vapes, alcohol, and marijuana. We are grateful to the Rotary Club for offering this valuable resource free of charge and helping our families stay informed and proactive.
