+++++*LECTURE: HOW TO TALK TO TEENS*+++++
The Concord Carlisle High School Parent Association, in collaboration
with the Center for Parents and Teachers, is offering a special evening
with author Jenifer Marshall Lippincott. Lippincott, author of /7 Things/
/Your Teenager Won't Tell You And How To Talk About Them Anyway/, will
shed light on what these issues are. She will also offer a simple set of
rules to help parents and caregivers keep pace and peace with their
teens. Lippincott holds a master's degree in human development from
Harvard University and has worked with adolescents for more than 20
years as a teacher, dean, and consultant. The program will take place on
*Monday, March 27, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the CCHS library*. This
program is offered free of charge and no registration is required.
Please *call 978-202-1146* for more information.
+++++*FOCUS GROUPS: UNDERAGE DRINKING IN CONCORD*+++++
The Alliance for Teen Safety invites parents of high school students to
participate in focus groups to share their knowledge and beliefs about
underage drinking in Concord and Carlisle. This information will be used
to develop strategies to reduce access to alcohol among youth in our
communities. Discussions will be held on *Tuesday, April 4, from 7:30 to
9:30 p.m. in the Hunt Gym conference room, and on Thursday, April 6,
from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Concord Public Library's basement
conference room*. If you would like to participate, please *respond to
jblock at healthiercommunities.org
<mailto:jblock at healthiercommunities.org>*. Be sure to include which date
you are available, your child's or children's grade(s), and your phone
number. Participants will receive a gift certificate to either the
Concord Bookshop or the Concord Cheese Shop. Thank you.
+++++*COMMUNITY EDUCATION COURSE*+++++
*Heartsaver AED (Adult CPR/AED)*--American Heart Association
The Heartsaver AED Course teaches the basic techniques of adult CPR and
use of the lifesaving automatic external defibrillator (AED). The course
also teaches how to recognize the signs of four major emergencies: heart
attack, stroke, cardiac arrest, and airway obstruction. The course takes
place *Thursday, March 23, from 6:30 to 10 p.m. at CCHS*. The $50 fee

+++++*CCHS BANDS CONCERT*+++++
On *Tuesday, March 21, at 7:30 p.m*., the bands of CCHS will be
performing in concert at the CCHS auditorium. The concert is open to the
public and admission is free. The CCHS Concert Band, Repertory Band,
Jazz Band 'A' and Jazz Band 'B' will all be performing, under the
direction of Mr. Dentino. The Repertory Band and Concert Band have been
preparing for the upcoming Massachusetts Instrumental and Choral
Conductors Association (MICCA) Concert Festival and should be at their
best. The Concert Band is one of the finest high school bands in the
state, earning a gold medal rating at MICCA each of the past 13 years.
Jazz Band 'A', with all-state trumpeter David Condon and all-state
saxophonist Chris Ting, is sensational. For more information about the

+++++*ELIMINATION RAFFLE POSTPONED*+++++
The Class of 2008 has sold many tickets to the Elimination Raffle/Dinner
Dance, however they didn't reach their goal of 250 tickets so they have
decided to postpone the raffle until the fall. If you have already
purchased a ticket and would like your money back, please email the
class advisers at lgiunta at colonial.net <mailto:lgiunta at colonial.net> or
dmcgrath at colonial.net <mailto:dmcgrath at colonial.net>. If you do not
email, we will assume you would like your ticket held until the event in
the fall. Those people will be contacted now and in the fall as well.
The class will be selling tickets on an ongoing basis until this fall,
so if you are interested please check out the flyer at
*mail.colonial.net/~lgiunta/Classof2008/Raffle.html
<http://mail.colonial.net/%7Elgiunta/Classof2008/Raffle.html>*. Thank
