This Week in Granby, East Granby: Youth Survey, Board of Education Meeting, Halloween

How do teens view their lives and the assets they have?

Do East Granby teens feel supported at home? Do they have positive role models, clear boundaries? Do they feel safe?

Find out what young people said about their lives and what that means for their success this Tuesday at the East Granby Forum on Youth. At the forum, results from the Search Institute Survey of Student Resources and Assets will be presented. The survey was administered to 350 teens in grades 7-12 in December 2012.

The event, presented by the Youth Service Bureau, will be held at the Community and Senior Center from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
