Happy Memorial Day!


Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone has a fantastic three day weekend! :)

STUDY!

The seventh and eighth graders will have their last health test on Tuesday! All students have had time to complete a study guide in class. It is important to be fully prepared for this last major graded test!

In addition, all three grades will have a final folder check next week. If anyone needs to get organized, you can see me before school to do so.

Lifeskills

This week we are lucky to have Mrs. Adelman from the Township of Downers Grove presenting the Lifeskills program. The Lifeskills program is taught at all of the surrounding junior highs. It is a GREAT opportunity for students to learn skills for use in their every day lives.

The sixth grade program focuses on bullying. Students will learn what to do in situations where they are victims of bullying. They will also learn how to help friends and how to make sure they are not being bullies themselves.

The seventh grade program focuses on drug education. The presentation goes along wonderfully with the Lakeview drug education curriculum.

The eighth grade program focuses on stress management and goal setting. Students will learn ways to relieve stress and how to prevent it from happening. They will also practice goal setting with an emphasis on preparing for high school.

The students should have a wonderful week! Please ask your child about the program and what they are learning :)
