TEEN CENTER INFORMATION
We LOVE it when you come to hang out in the Teen Center! We invite you to share in all the fun the center has to offer. The Teen Center is open the 1st & 3rd full weekends beginning in September through the last full weekend in May (Except holiday weekends – these will be noted in the bulletin). Junior high students are invited on Fridays from 7 pm to 10 pm. The center is open to high school students on Saturdays from 8:00 pm to 11:30 pm. During June, July, and August, the center is open only on the last full weekend of the month with the same time schedule as the school season. We do have some basic guidelines to keep the peace at the Teen Center!
We ask that you follow the following (do you follow?)
General Rules for Students:
- John Hancocks Please…Please sign in each time you come to the Teen Center. It’s a great way for all of us old folks to learn your names and it also helps us know who is at the Teen Center. Each person needs to sign in.
- What TIME is it?.?.? Jr. High Students…You must call your parents if you’re bailing out early and note the time you are leaving on the sign in/out sheet. If you leave the center, you won’t be readmitted that night! And if you “sneak out” and try to leave without calling your parents first, you can be banned up to a year. So, stick around and enjoy the rest of the people there until 10:00! (High School students – you can come and go as you need to, but of course, we’d love for you to stick around all night!)
- No smoking or alcohol is allowed on the premises. Besides, it’s bad for you AND ILLEGAL…
so, JUST SAY NO! - Who’s on the Big Screen? You can bring in movies, but these cannot be rated more than PG.
No pg 13s or Rs… AND you have to basically agree on watching it… take turns, get along… you know, all that fun stuff! - Want to listen to your own music? Bring CDs, but we ask that the lyrics be clean. Chaperons have the final say over whether movie/music/etc. content is appropriate. If it isn’t something you’d want to listen to with your grandparents, it may not be appropriate here.
- DO I OFFEND???? YES! Please keep the language clean…
- NO PURPLE… boys are blue and girls are red…. No purple or purple activities are allowed.
- WHO WANTS FOOD? Snacks of chips/cookies, etc. are provided and bottled water/sodas are available for $.50. If you have a soda please put the cans in the recycling can. Thanks to a parishioner’s donation, we also have a pizza oven for frozen pizzas! Frozen pizzas cost $5.00 (Ordering a pizza from dominoes etc. is also an option, but kids are on their own to pay for it!) Also, we always welcome snacks from home to share with the crowd! We love food!
- R-E-S-P-E-C-T … Find out what it means to us… we ask that each person use respect for all the people at the Teen Center and the belongings we have all worked so hard for. Chaperones have volunteered their time to have the center open for you. Be nice to them. Also, we work hard for all that we have in the Teen Center! All is either donated from parishioners’ generosity or from fund raising efforts! Take care of all the stuff in the Teen Center! This is church property and we appreciate you treating it as such!
Please remember this center is for you and it is up to you to take care of it. If you leave it as you found it or in even better condition, the Teen Center can continue as a great place to visit with friends.
Violations of the guidelines will be dealt with accordingly. Offenses may result in being banned from the Teen Center for the remainder of the year. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact one of the following people:
