Snowflake Opportunity for Seventh Graders


On Saturday, March 21, seventh grade students from Lakeview and Herrick will have the unique opportunity to participate in a Snowflake event.

Snowflake is a day long event for seventh grade students that explore leadership and communication skills, healthy decision making, substance abuse prevention and how to resist negative peer influences. The event is planned and implemented by trained high school students with adults serving in advisory roles. The program is a collaborative effort between Downers Grove North, Downers Grove South, Lakeview, Herrick Middle School, The Downers Grove Police Department and Helping Girls Navigate Adolescence (HGNA). District 66 and District 58 believe this program is important to help our seventh grade students navigate through adolescence.

The Snowflake Event will take place at Herrick Middle School from 2-9 pm. Registration is $20 a person and must be turned into the Township’s Human Service Office before 4:30 p.m. on February 20, 2009.

Lakeview students will be receiving information on this event this week. Additional registration packets will be available in the office. Questions can be referred to Mrs. Liles or Mrs. Conley.
