What’s up in Health!!!
What’s coming up???????
Hello Parents/StudentsThis month in Health Class we are going to be
focusing on Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs.
Within these topics we are going to learn about the
negative consequences of abuse, as well as ways in
which substance abuse can affect all aspects of a
person’s life.
We will use a variety of resources as well as
assignments to help us through the content. Students
will get an opportunity to role-play, design posters,
and create commercials of their own to educate their
peers on the dangers of drug use.
We recently had SU students come in to conduct a
lesson on the dangers of Marijuana. Students really
enjoyed how interactive the lesson was, as well as the
fact that they received candy at the end!
Mid-Late December we will be introducing
Human Growth/Development. I will send a
letter home giving parents a heads up, as students
tend to have lots of questions regarding the
information we cover.
We have invited New Hope Family Services to
come back to Ed Smith for a two day
presentation on Healthy Relationships, and
respecting your body and your boundaries.
Looking ahead we also have some great topics to
discuss in our Restorative Peace Circles.
-Body Image and the Media
-Dangers of Social Networking
-Benefits of Healthy Relationships
