Did you know that there is a curfew for kids under 18?

Parent Council hosted our 3rd Parent Education Series on Tuesday, December 5th for a conversation on "Curfews and Parties: What we need to know and how we can support each other and our high schoolers in managing the teenage social scene." We were joined by Ilisa Rooke-Ley, a defense attorney and parent of three students at South and Laurene Larson, South Eugene counselor, who discussed what the laws are regarding curfews and lead us through this important discussion. We met in the South Eugene High School cafeteria from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Parents attended the Parent Council meeting in the cafeteria from 7:00 -7:30. Parents were able to purchase refreshments from SEHS's very own Juice and Java Bar and Scrip and Chinook Books,as well. For more information, please e-mail Helen B. Garrett, Parent Council Convenor at sehsparentcouncil@comcast.net.

What an informative and lifesaving evening!

Two caring and dedicated South Eugene High School parents gave over fifty parents and students the gift of a panel of experts on eating disorders and body image at Parent Council's second Parent Education Series on November 1st. Dr. Pilar Bradshaw, a SEHS alumna, presented information on the signs and symptoms of an eating disorder and gave incredibly helpful information on what to do if you suspect that your student or someone in your life might have an eating disorder. We also heard from Jeff Hess, SEHS cross country and track coach and his important advice on speaking up when you believe that someone has an eating disorder.



South Eugene's Health Clinic staff have valuable information for parents and students on what to do if you think that someone you love may have an eating disorder. We also encourage you to bring this to the attention of the SEHS Counselors, coaches or any staff member.

Thank you to the parents who cared enough to attend to learn and listen and to our panel of experts. It was a most meaningful evening!
