RIVER RAIDER
Dear BRMS Families,
We are pleased to announce that on Thursday, October 19, 2023, 7:00pm - 8:30pm, Browns River Middle School, Camels Hump Middle School, and Mount Mansfield Union High School are sponsoring a special program for parents featuring Stephen Hill, a renowned national speaker on substance use prevention, mental health, and resilience.
Stephen has a truly inspiring comeback story that everyone must hear. He is the founder of Speak Sobriety, a young person in recovery, bestselling author, wellness coach, and an attorney. He has presented in front of thousands of people for over 500 schools and coalitions across the country.
Through knowledge gained from his own personal and professional experience, Stephen shows parents how to build resilient kids to make healthy choices and overcome adversity.
Stephen will also be speaking with all of our high school students and 7th & 8th grade students during the school day on October 19th and 20th. This is an amazing opportunity for parents to have a meaningful conversation with their children about the messages and lessons from Stephen’s program.
This event is free and open to the public. The event will be held at Mount Mansfield Union High School Auditorium. Doors open at 6:30pm. We hope to see you there!
Be sure to join us on Tuesday Oct. 3rd from 6:30-7:30 for the BRMS Open House. We will be running a school wide scavenger hunt and we hope to see you there.
