Posted by JLS parent, a member of the JLS Middle School community, on Nov 18, 2009 at 5:28 pm What they need to know is that in this town, kids are not allowed to be kids any more. What happens to kids who are not allowed to be kids?

Posted by Paly Mom, a member of the Palo Alto High School community, on Nov 18, 2009 at 9:14 pm I applaud the PTSAs at Paly and Gunn for putting this important program together. Dr Durbin has some great ideas about how the primary care team can keep our kids healthy, both mentally and physically. It should be a very worthwhile evening.

Posted by Monique Kane, a resident of the Duveneck/St. Francis neighborhood, on Nov 19, 2009 at 11:46 am This sounds like a good idea and I wonder why Adolescent Counseling Services is not included. They have counseling on both those campuses and have contact with many of the students. I could imagine their feedback as helpful as well.
