2/6/14 - A presentation tonight at Howell High School for area parents has taken on added meaning following the tragic loss of a Pinckney High School student earlier this week. 14-year-old Pinckney Community High School freshman Anthony Dirette (pictured) took his life Monday at home, leaving the community stunned. A memorial service for Dirette was held last night at Shalom Lutheran Church in Pinckney. Meanwhile, Jim Tuman, a nationally renowned youth speaker will be the guest speaker for a parent night tonight at Howell High School. Tuman, who was previously scheduled to talk with students and parents this week, is a youth speaker who has visited more than 2,000 schools worldwide and recently published his first book âThe Magic of Living in the Moment.â Tonightâs presentation by Tuman is entitled, âTaking the Fear out of Parentingâ and focuses on how parents can better communicate with their children. Parents are encouraged to bring their children to the presentation as Tuman works with both groups to exchange concerns and develop solutions to communication problems. The presentation will begin at 7pm in the Howell High School auditorium and parents and students from the Pinckney community are encouraged to attend. (JK)
