A LETTER FROM MR. HARRINGTON
AND MR. PIKE
The end of the first semester will have passed once you have received this newsletter but I want to thank our staff, our parents, and especially our students for a great first semester. As the first semester ends, I want to remind students and parents that as the second semester begins, the emphasis on staying up to date and completing work is so important.

A MESSAGE FROM OFFICER DOTZAUER Hello Hawks and Hawk Families,
I want to talk about a common e-cigarette or “vaping” device known as a Juul device. I have noticed that e-cigarettes and vaping seem to be the new “it” item for young adults, including teens. I must admit that I did not know a lot about the subject, so in my exploration of the subject I found a recent article by Harvard University.
Harvard Scientists are calling for “urgent action” after their federally funded study confirmed dangerous, lung-destroying chemicals are commonly found in the liquid used in electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices. The chemicals destroy the lungs tiniest airways, leading to scar tissue buildup that blocks airflow. It can result in a permanent, sometimes fatal, lung condition known as bronchiolitis obliterans.
The number of young people using e-cigarettes tripled last year, according to Center for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s the first time since 2011, when the survey started collecting data on e-cigarettes, that use among youths has surpassed use of every other tobacco products, including conventional cigarettes.
This is just a small fraction of information that can be found on the subject and I encourage you to do your own research for more information. I feel it is best to be proactive and speak with your kids about the subject. For more information you can go to www.thetruth.com and learn about the impact the devices are having.
Take Care and Go Hawks!
Ofc. Travis Dotzauer-School Resource Officer
