What are the students learning about?



K-2 health classes are almost over. I have enjoyed working with the younger students this year. We have spent some time talking about summer and beach safety, so hopefully some of this information will stay with them through the summer months!

Our Growth and Development Unit is completed! We will spend a week or two talking about entering 6th grade and our trip to Camp Alton Jones! You will receive a letter this summer with an overview of this trip, which takes place in the early fall.

Sixth Grade has completed their DARE graduation with lots of spirit!! We spent some time during morning advisories to "reflect" on the event and things we could do next year to prepare a little better. We are very proud of their accomplishments and the efforts the students made to complete their essays! Please remember this is the beginning of many conversations you will need to have about your families morals and values regarding alcohol and drug use.

Seventh Grade has spent the last two weeks talking about alcohol use and choices surrounding early use. We had a visit from Dr. Mark Shapiro who shared some of the affects early alcohol use has on the brain. A big thank you to MV Hospital for helping in this educational piece.

Parent letters were sent home with specifics about CPR certification cards. Cost of the cards are $ 7.00! Please send in the money the week of June 14th, if you would like your child to get a card. The students will have the opportunity to be recertified in 2 years at the high school!

Have a great summer!!!!
