“La generosità della Vostra Scuola darà sicuramente un prezioso supporto al nostro operato.
La nostra è un' Associazione di promozione sociale rivolta ai genitori per aiutarli a crescere i
propri figli, riducendo al minimo il rischio che essi sviluppino diverse condizioni di abuso o
dipendenza. Dal Maggio del 2013 la Genitori Attenti! ha istituito una sezione locale in ogni
regione italiana per cercare di raggiungere il maggior numero di persone in grado di fare tesoro
degli strumenti di prevenzione che promuoviamo. !
In Lazio, la dott.ssa Laura Lauzzana, nostro referente Regionale, si è adoperata per conto
dell'Associazione nell'attivazione di importanti eventi ( organizzazione di un Convegno
nazionale e del Consiglio Direttivo dell'associazione) nonché nell'attivazione del progetto di
prevenzione denominato Progetto Pinocchio. !
Il protocollo di questo progetto contiene tre importanti novità. La prima riguarda
l’abbassamento dell’età degli interventi, che iniziano già dalla V elementare. La seconda
riguarda la messa a punto di strategie finalizzate a coinvolgere il più possibile i genitori. La
terza riguarda infine la decisione di affrontare alcune problematiche specificamente
«moderne», in particolare quelle legate all’assunzione degli energy drink e, dal 2012, la nostra
ricerca si è estesa alle dipendenze tecnologiche: videogiochi, internet, cellulare...!
La terremo senz'altro informata rispetto alle nostre attività nazionali. Nel ringraziarla per l'aiuto
ricevuto sono a porgere i miei più cordiali saluti.”!

RIS students audition for IB conference
A group of children participated in the
auditions for the IB Regional Conference
taking place for the first time in Rome in
October 2014. We had a fun day and met
children from other international schools in
Italy. I am very proud of our participants who
showed great talent, courage and
enthusiasm. Our participation in the
conference will be communicated by the
end of next week. Well done Carlotta 3P,
Emilija 5C, Orlando 3P, Giorgio Maria 3Y
and Maria 6B."

The judges are very pleased
to announce that
congratulations go to this
years' competition winner,
Ludovica from Grade 5M.
Congratulations also to our
creative runners up, Olga
G5M and Luisa G5C. Look
out on the display boards to
see some of the judges' top
picks and a big “Thank You”
to all the artists who entered
the competition, you all did a
fantastic job.
Grade 3 residential trip
Students enjoyed three days in La Tuscia Romana. They visited the necropolis in
Cervetri, the ‘Dying City’ in Civita di Bagnoregio and the monster park in Bomarzio.
The children had great fun and enjoyed one of the most beautiful areas of Italy."
