Parents are invited to attend this year’s spring town hall meeting on Thursday, February 20 at 8 a.m in Ignatius Hall. Bridget Gardner, RN, from “Sudden Impact,” will present on encouraging students to make responsible decisions. All Jesuit students participate in the “Sudden Impact Program” at UMC Hospital during their sophomore year, where they learn about safe driving and substance use and explore various hospital areas. Parents are encouraged to attend to gain insight into what their sons have been learning. Senior parents are particularly encouraged to attend as they prepare their sons for making safe decisions in college.

For presentation details or any questions, please contact Grace Delaney, Health and Wellness Counselor, (504) 483-3850 or delaney@jesuitnola.org.
