Ms. Joye Ardrey shared the following information she has been sharing in her Education Classes at Cedar RIdge:

"I'm spending this entire week talking about teen dating violence. I wasn't aware that February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness month (hence the orange hearts on campus), until I attended a training last week. The training was about Parenting and Paternity Awareness (P.A.P.A) and put on by the Attorney General's office. Great information...one of the best training's I've attended in 22 years!

Overall, the topic and TEKS are specific to Child Guidance and Child Development, but I decided that all of my classes needed to hear the information.

I've also included a pic of the inside of the classroom door. I had everyone write on an orange heart what love means to them. The response has been incredibly awesome!!!"
