Gang Awareness and Education – Keeping Our Kids Safe from Local Gangs

– A Problem that Demands Your Attention!

In partnership with the Edmonds School District, City of Lynnwood and
Edmonds Community College, we’d like to invite you to an important
Gang Awareness Community Meeting on December 8th at 6:30pm at the
Meadowdale High School.

As a community, we are experiencing the beginning stages of
significantly increased gang activity in Snohomish County. Awareness
and education is an important first step to keeping our kids and
communities safe. Our middle school students are particularly
vulnerable as recruitment often starts at that age.

Parents, educators, administrators, community leaders, all of us play
a crucial role in keeping children out of gangs, but many lack
important information.

The free community meeting will provide an overview of local gangs in
our city/county, its impact to our children and neighborhoods.
Speakers will also cover topics such as: what are the warning signs,
how to identify if your child is a gang target and what local
resources are available.
