TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9
YOUR PA PRESENTS
Not coincidentally, this PA Forum has been scheduled prior to the year’s first all
school dance scheduled for this Saturday. All parents are urged to attend (just
the forum; not the dance unless you’re a chaperone).
Against the backdrop for the fall production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,
with its white tiles, queasy green walls and institutional lights, you’ll be treated to
a mind-stretching conversation with psychotherapist Michael Simon and
adolescent expert Charis Denison. They’ll provide you with practical tips for the
preservation of your sanity when confronting a variety of real life teen scenarios
involving drugs, alcohol, and something called “hooking up.” Our resident
Psychologist and Head of School, Dr. Michael Diamonti, also will be present to
calm your nerves if need be.
For more information on this therapeutic, mind-saving PA forum and the
scenarios to be discussed, including the “Getting a Head Start” scenario that
hopefully won’t challenge you this Saturday, please click here:

adulthood? How can we better understand our teens as they face issues such
as sexuality, vocation, morality, risk and security, technology and drugs?

Oregon and author of over 20 books. His focus is on the educational implications
of new developments of science and technology.
