Topics discussed will include self-esteem, money management/financial awareness through the Sigma Public Education and Research (SPEAR) Foundation's program called Project Wee Savers, fitness, healthy eating, distracted driving prevention, education and literacy, human trafficking, and social action: what to do if pulled over/stopped by an officer. There will be guest speakers, refreshments, and giveaways.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to register their children on Eventbrite.com under 2020 Youth Symposium. This event kicks off the chapter’s Sigma Week. For more information about Youth Symposium and Sigma Week, call (843) 608-9416 or visit the KRS Palmetto Poodles Facebook page.
