I was very glad to read this article this week regarding the the Teen Summit in Washington County - particularly to see that the ideas on topics to be covered came from actual high school students. This, I feel, is the way to target the teen issues - ask them what the issues are!

Plans are being made for the second annual Washington County Teen Summit, set for March 11.
The planning committee for the summit met earlier this week at The Jones Center for Families in Springdale to discuss the event, which is organized by the Washington County Juvenile Concerns Advisory Board.
Among the topics discussed at the planning meeting were how the summit would be organized this year, and students from area junior high and high schools brainstormed on topics to be covered.
The format of how the topics will be presented was also addressed. One idea was having a skit that would get the attention of those who attend the summit as the day begins.
"We want to do it in a way that sparks some thought," said Ron Harris, chairman of the juvenile concerns advisory board
