Dear MS Parents,
As part of our Wellness Program, a visiting consultant from the Freedom from Chemical Dependency (FCD) organization will meet with students in grades 6 – 8 on March 17 – 20th.
- 6th graders will meet for one 55 minutes session during one of their science classes this week.
- 7th graders will all meet via a 7th grade one-hour assembly and one 55-minute session during one of their science classes this week.
- 8th graders will all meet via a 8th grade one-hour assembly and two 55-minute sessions this week, one session during one of their math classes and the other during one of their science classes.
The sessions will focus on positive discussions on the health risks of alcohol and substance use to the developing teenage brain, possible long term addiction problems tied to early use, social norms and the misconceptions about teenage behavior, and strategies for maintaining healthy choices.
