Dear Owings Mills High School Parents,

In 2007, OMHS hosted a Teen Panel program (read more about it here), where teens from area high schools spoke frankly to a group of parents about their experiences with alcohol and drugs, and the role parents could play in promoting safe behaviors. This session was facilitated by a professional counselor. If this program was offered again... (Check one):

I would attend this year, schedule permitting.
I would not attend because this program does not meet my needs.
I would not attend because I attended the last one.
I would attend, and I’d like to help with organizing this event.
