- Think First and Stay Safe and Teen Lures are comprehensive body safety education programs that teach students in grades K-12 ways to keep their bodies safe. Students will learn appropriate ways to prevent, respond to, and report situations such as bullying, cyber-bullying, and all forms of abuse or neglect. An opportunity to speak with someone about body safety concerns will be offered to all students.
- The program will be presented to students at Zionsville West on Wednesday, January 29th. Each presentation will be given in individual PE/Health classrooms and will last approximately 30 minutes. Although not required, each student's attendance in the program is strongly recommended. For additional information regarding our programs, please visit our website at: www.indianaprevention.org
