Safer Smarter Teens

In November, counselors will be teaching safety lessons on “Safer, Smarter Teens.”  We were one of the middle schools in Pasco County to pilot this important curriculum, which will be expanded to all Pasco County Schools in 2017-18.

This age-appropriate personal safety curriculum empowers students to protect themselves in potentially unsafe situations and provides practical strategies to help teens protect themselves without being explicit or frightening.

To learn more about Safer, Smarter Teens and the organization that developed the curriculum, Lauren’s Kids, please visit: https://safersmarterteens.org
