HMS Parents: There is a very important Parent Event coming up at Aberdeen High School on Wednesday, February 21 regarding Fentanyl. The event is being put on by a number of coalitions throughout Grays Harbor. It will be geared toward guardians/parents of youth informing them of fentanyl – what it is, dangers, etc. There will be a demonstration of how to use naloxone as well. The event will be in both English and Spanish.
