Teen Driver Safety Week: October 15 - 21

This week is Teen Driver Safety Week - a time to learn more about the dangers that teen drivers face as they learn to drive and hit the road on their own. If you're a parent of a teen, you know there are more distractions than ever facing today's young drivers. There are resources available to help you talk to your teen about driver safety.
Additionally, teens and parents face other challenges in our ever changing world. AAA, the MN State Patrol, and the MN Juvenile Officers Association are offering some additional resources for parents and teens: Drug Use/Abuse & Driving Among Teens and Teens, Technology, and Drugs.

Where Have Our Kids Been Hanging Out?
Fall means field trip season at the elementary. Warner Nature Center,  Tom's Pumpkin Patch, and a Taylors Falls Boat Cruise. We are fortunate to have so many wonderful places surrounding us.
