The Halloween Spirit



Yesterday and today class had a spooky feel to it as our students went "Trick-or-treating" throughout the gym. The problem was they had to get by the ghosts that were guarding the houses in order to bring all of the candy back to their house. Our students did a great job both protecting houses and bringing candy back home, I hope this helped our students get in the Halloween spirit. Everyone have a safe and scary Halloween!

Health and Wellness: Drugs and Peer Pressure



This week we discussed the different classifications of drugs and went into how they are classified and the effects on your body. We also discussed peer pressure and how it is related to drugs and alcohol at such a young age. When dealing with peer pressure it is important to say "NO" regardless of who it is to. We discussed the difficulty of saying "No" to someone who you care about and are friends with but sometimes it has to be done.

This weeks health lesson has some great and relevant information for all of our students to eat healthy, and exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle. We discussed what a calorie is and how they add up to make a person gain weight. We also talked about some plans or goals our students can set and try to create a plan to stick with these goals. One of my favorite quotes is " A goal without a plan is just a dream." I tried telling our students this so that they know what they have to do to set a goal whether it be better grades or playing a sport.
