We had a great turn out for our combined Freshman/Sophomore parent meeting on Street Smarts - Parents, Teens and the Law. We would like to thank LEAD for their support in putting together this meeting, and all the panel members present, especially Stacy Vermylen, Director of Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Underage Drinking Prevention Coalition for being our moderator. While the topic is always a difficult one, attendees left the meeting more knowledgeable about the law and the resources available to us parents.
