Steamboat Springs High School Principal Ron Peterson met the Sailor Senior Class Thursday to tell the students how important it is to take care of each other and watch out for each other.
“It’s a message that every student should hear at this time of year. But having sat in that emergency room at 2 a.m., 2:30 in the morning, three times in my career, it’s a message that I promised that I would share with every single class that to take care of one another. Do it for your friends. Do it for your family. But do it. But the key is, when it starts getting to the point where it’s dangerous, step in.”
Congratulations to the Class of 2023 at Hayden High School. Graduation is at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 14, in the gymnasium.
This is the last day of Teen Safety Week in the Yampa Valley. Today’s focus is on Teen Dating Violence, Sexual Pressures, and Assault. One in three U.S. teens will experience abuse from someone they’re in a relationship with before they become adults. Encourage open, honest, and thoughtful conversation with your teen. Talk openly with young teenagers about healthy relationship. Let your teen know how you feel about disrespect, abusive language, controlling behavior, and any form of violence. Teach your teen how to stand up for friends, and be an active participant in your teenager’s life. There’s more on Teen Safety Week on our website.
