 The Juvenile Justice Council of Iroquois County, the Iroquois County State’s Attorney Office, I-KAN’s Life Education Center programming, and the Pledge for Life Partnership want you to be informed so you can assist and encourage your teens to make the best choices for healthy, happy futures. Thanks to the Iroquois County’s Times-Republic/Illinois Spirit, Gilman Star, Clifton Advocate, and Cissna Park News for helping to spread this important message.
 TIP the Scale wants to remind everyone that April is Alcohol Awareness Month. Why should Iroquois County parents take note of this month’s designation? Well, unfortunately, underage drinking continues to be an issue of concern in our communities. Learn the risks and have an important conversation with your kids. Talking Improves Parenting! TIP the Scale!
 Over 70 students at Watseka Community High School successfully completed the Vape Escape Room activity. Assisted by National Honor Society members, 7 groups of freshmen worked together to decipher clues and quickly solve puzzles in order to “escape” while learning about the negative health, social, and financial consequences of vaping. Way to go, Watseka students and staff! This Vape Escape Room experience is an initiative of the Juvenile Justice Council of Iroquois County and the Iroquois County State’s Attorney Office.
 Did you know that most 8th, 10th, and 12th grade students in Iroquois County will take the IYS this spring? Results of the IYS can serve as a valuable tool for our schools and communities to determine needs and secure funding to meet these needs.
 April is Alcohol Awareness Month. Please make time to talk with your children about the dangers of underage drinking. Remember to KEEP SHOWING UP. They’re still growing up!
Thank you, area high school students, for recording a Public Service Announcement for Alcohol Awareness Month! Tune into WGFA or WIBK to hear both versions of this important prevention message.
