I From The Principal J By Stanley Kotzen Principal, Lower Cape May Regional High School

A very quite movement has started at Lower Cape May Regional. It is an organization of parents with special commitment to the safety of their youngsters. This organization has no officers, no dues, no formal name and no meetings to attend. Its membership is now 110 families in which parents have decided to pledge that their homes will be safe and supervised when there are any parties on the premises. The members of the group might riot even know one another, but what is, most significant is that each one knows that he or she is not alone in their effort to keep teenagers safe. IT WAS LATE in April that I sent letters home inviting parents to participate in a community effort to provide safe supervision for our students when they were in a partying mood. The idea of the pledge had come from PTA

President Barbara Russell who had come in contact with a similar program in Livingston, N.J. with a formal name of "The Safe Homes Project." I met with our student leaders and explained the nature of the mailing and the expected results. At the very least -we wanted to raise the consciousness of parents to their responsibility to deny juveniles access to alcohol in their homes. At the very most, i we wanted / 500 returned pledges tfiat were signed , by parents who would not ' i a ) allow parties or gatherings in the home without a parent present, (b) serve or allow alcoholic consumption to anyone under 21 on their property, and <c) allow use of illegal drugs in the home. What we got in the first ten days was 80 signed pledges. It was a start. SINCE THAT TIME we have added 30 names to the list that is sent to all members as a way of letting them kqow exactly who those other parents are in this community who feel the same way and are not ashamed to say so. As we have professed from the beginning, we want parents to host parties that are safe and supervised. If enough parents will commit to these ends, you will be surprised at how fast our youngsters will understand that ydu can have a good time at a party without drinking alcoholic beverages Young people must learn that it is OK not to break the law by drinking before they are 21, and they must learn it from us. Our little movement is a beginning statement. To parents we are saying. "You are not alone. There are others of us that say no when our youngsters want to bring beer in the home for a party." To our children we are saying "We want you to enjoy yourselves, but we will not help you break the law or risk involving our family in a liability suit that will destroy us " If you are a parent of a "Caper" and want more information about our very informal, but very impor tant movement, give us a call at 884-3475 .y J''- \ Art Classes At Garden CAPE MAY - The Cape May County Art League is sponsoring a Botanical Garden Drawing Workshop with instructor.
