Students in grades 3-5 will be participating in a district initiative through the SAFE program to talk about substance abuse and prevention. Presenters from the SAFE program will meet with our students in their classrooms for two 30 minute sessions (February and March).
The first session will focus on the education and awareness of Nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, and vaping. Students will complete an interactive activity that is geared towards peer pressure and how to say “no”. The second session in March will include a brainstorming activity with an interactive experience refusing these substances and using resources to help others. Students will learn how these substances affect the brain and the body, and what types of social situations the may find themselves in where they will need strong skills to say “no”.
There will also be a parent session offered in March. Please contact the school with any questions that you may have.
