Text Box: “MOMS, We’ve got your back!!” is a new campaign by the CRAZY Mamas (Creating Resilient Aware Zealous Youth) of the Bay Area Alliance for Youth and Families. The campaign lets parents of Clear Creek ISD students know what their role is in reducing underage drinking in our community. The main goal of the campaign is to let parents know that they are not in this alone. Take a moment to visit the CRAZY Mamas campaign website at www.crazymamas.org. It is a valuable tool for parents to seek out resources to help them talk to their children about underage drinking, connect with other CRAZY Mamas, see what the CRAZY Mama movement is all about, and to join a network of parents who want to see their children grow up healthy, happy and responsible.
