We would like to thank Mrs. Kate Romeo for inviting representatives from One Hit Away. Our juniors and seniors were an exceptional audience and learned a lot of valuable lessons from the presentation. The challenges of living with a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) provided our students with great insight about its ramifications.
Finally, we would like to recognize our students for their wonderful cooperation during our recent 2-hour “blackout.” Their outstanding behavior was greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
