Weekly Warrior News

Dear Camp Creek Community,

Behind every successful student is an adult who took the time to encourage, guide, and inspire them.

As our Warriors prepare to showcase their hard work at the upcoming Social Studies and Science Fairs, we need volunteers who are willing to help bring these experiences to life.

🏛️ Social Studies Fair

December 8-9

🔬 Science Fair

December 15-16

Whether you serve as a judge or mentor a student before the fair, your support can have a lasting impact. A few hours of your time can help a student gain confidence, improve a project, and discover strengths they didn't know they had.

⭐ We Need You

Our goal is to ensure every student has the opportunity to present their very best work. To make that happen, we need dedicated volunteers who will:

✅ Judge student projects
✅ Mentor students during project preparation
✅ Encourage academic excellence
✅ Help celebrate the achievements of our Warriors

📢 Will You Answer the Call?

Don't underestimate the difference you can make. The encouragement you provide today could inspire a future scientist, engineer, educator, researcher, or community leader.

Please scan the QR code on the attached flyer or use the registration link below to sign up today.

Camp Creek Middle School partners with Cartwheel to connect students and families to mental health support when they need it. This year, Cartwheel offers individual therapy for students, parent and caregiver guidance, and new expanded Care Programs for specific challenges including school avoidance, screens and social media use, and intense emotions and behavior challenges.

Appointments are virtual and flexible, including evenings and weekends. Care is free with Medicaid, and most private insurances are accepted. Care is available in multiple languages, including Spanish.

2. How many phones does your child have? One of the most surprising findings in the ACE-1 program was the number of students who have multiple phones. They may have one you know about and monitor, and another “secret” phone.

3. Pay attention to the law.

In Georgia, it is illegal for anyone under 21 to buy, possess, or use nicotine or alternative nicotine/vape products. Recreational marijuana and THC oil vapes are completely illegal for minors and adults alike, and possessing THC oil—even in a small vape pen—can result in serious felony drug charges under the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Nicotine and Vaping Age Restrictions (Tobacco 21)

5.Potency – Are you comparing it to when you were a student? SouthLight’s Prevention Educators note they often hear things from parents like, “I used marijuana when I was younger, and it didn’t hurt me.” But today, THC Vapes and joints are significantly more potent (30% THC compared to 4-6% in the 90s, with some concentrates boasting 90% to 95% THC—in the form of waxes, edibles, and more). Source: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2025/06/marijuana-potency-policy-risk

6. Life changes and developmental differences: A common thread the SouthLight team sees in its program are students who are experiencing some kind of tumult in their lives or have been uprooted in some way (moved to a new town, changed schools, etc.). Ninth graders in particular fall under this category as they’re trying to fit in at high school. Another is students who may be on the neurodivergent spectrum, such as those with ADHD.

Substance use trends are ever evolving, but one thing remains constant: parents play a critical role in prevention.
