Middle School To Test Planned Parenthood's Sex-Ed Workshop

Planned Parenthood's sex-ed workshop

Willow Run Middle School has been selected as one of the pilot sites to host a "Talk Early & Talk Often'' parent workshop. The initiative is part of Gov. Jennifer Granholm's Blueprint for Preventing Unintended Pregnancies, unveiled this summer, and is being tested in 60 communities through December.

The 90-minute workshop is free and is aimed at helping parents of middle school children talk with their child about abstinence and sexuality.

The workshop will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Willow Run Middle School, 235 Spencer Lane, Ypsilanti Township. There is no charge to attend; however, space is limited and advanced registration is required. To register, call (734) 961-6157 or go to www.michigan.gov/ miparentresources and click on "Talk Early & Talk Often.''

The program is also sponsored by Lincoln Consolidated Schools and Planned Parenthood.
