As prom and graduation season creeps closer, the Ridgewood Municipal Alliance is hoping parents throughout the village take a pledge that could end up saving their children’s lives.
The committee recently launched the Safe Homes Parents Network, which encourages parents to join a growing team whose collective goal is to combat the underage use of alcohol and drugs.
The formation of the network spawned from a Municipal Alliance meeting last fall, when several parents identified specific worries regarding their children. According to Sheila Brogan, chair of the alliance, approximately 230 people attended that meeting at Ridgewood High School, and many expressed concern about underage drinking.
