Session Notes
This podcast for Franklin Matters continues the special production capturing the information session on underage drinking sponsored by WASTED and held at Franklin High School Tuesday evening, Dec 2.
This series of podcasts will enable you to listen to the presentations and discussion that took place that evening.
In the first part, we listened as FHS Principal Pam Gould provided the introduction. We listened to the presentation by the FHS students from Marushka Waters’ class.
In the second part, we listened to William (Bill) Phillips, Director of New Beginnings. New Beginnings is a comprehensive wellness education program.
In the third part, we listened to Nick’s story. That could have been the story of your son or daughter.
In the fourth segment, we listened to Josh’s story. He is eighteen, a senior at North Attleboro High.
In the fifth segment, we listened to the parent’s point of view as Nick’s parents shared their experience.
In this sixth and final segment, we’ll listen to the Question and Answer period. Some of the questions might be hard to hear but you should be able to make out the question from the answer.
FHS Principal Pam Gould returns to wrap up the evening with announcements on next steps. This is just the beginning.
Listen carefully!
