“The large number of middle school parents who are here tonight. It’s wonderful. And we have to pat ourselves on the back: while 36 percent of seniors surveyed are drinking regularly, 10 years ago it was up in 50 percent for 12th graders. As parents, these are things your school, your resources here, are readily available to help you with. You have really good people.”

Discussing ‘Saturday Night in the Suburbs’
Lake Braddock seniors discuss sex, drugs and social media.
What really happens in the suburbs on Saturday nights? At an open forum at Lake Braddock Secondary School on Wednesday, May 1, community parents had the opportunity to have their fears and concerns over this question confirmed, assuaged, and in some cases, postponed. Special guests for the night were five high school seniors who had volunteered to discuss a range of topics—including illegal alcohol and marijuana use, depression and social media use—and field cross-examination from concerned parents.
