available on the Willard Middle School PTA website:

The talk was very good.
On my Mac, Firefox works better than Safari for this PDF.

>  Mr. Cantor has spoken at many local middle and high schools around the Bay
> Area
> (including King Middle School last spring) and is highly regarded in this
> field.  I believe we came away with a clear, unbiased understanding of how
> marijuana and alcohol affect the adolescent brain and ways in which we can
> both engage our children in meaningful conversation and help prevent
> harmful
> involvement with drugs and alcohol.
>
> Attached is the Power Point presentation from the evening.  Mr. Cantor is
> a
> Drug, Tobacco, and Violence Prevention Educator, recently retired from
> Alameda County Office of Education as Coordinator of Comprehensive School
> Services where he provided technical assistance and training to all school
> districts in Alameda County toward implementing their prevention programs
> for drugs, tobacco, and safe schools. He also provides Drug and Alcohol
> education at Berkeley High School.

> This will also be available on our Willard website.

> I  hope to see you at our next PTA meeting on April 12 when Carolyn Ruiz,
> Willard counselor, will discuss "Going to
>
> College 101:Terms, Definitions, and Timeline."
