AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT STUDENT HEALTH
As you may or may not be aware, “vaping” and/or "juuling"(the use of E-cigarettes) has become an unhealthy trend among children and young adults, from middle through high school nationwide. As the safety and health of our students is a top priority at VAHS, all students received a presentation on Feb. 13th about the effects of this unhealthy activity, as well as the Voyager Academy consequences.
To see the presentation that the students received, please click here. Parents/guardians are encouraged to reinforce this very important message at home.
As always, thank you so much for your continued support.
