It's hard to believe there are only two and a half weeks left in second trimester! We are starting to wrap up our units and prepare for final unit tests.
The sixth graders are continuing work on the body systems unit. They will have a chapter test and final folder check next week.
The seventh graders are currently working on alcohol and drug article review projects. They will be wrapping up the drug and alcohol unit and preparing for the unit test next week.
The eighth grade classes will be taking the reproductive systems unit test tomorrow. Next week they will be working on the "Teen Parent: Real World" project. Students will gain an understanding of how hard becoming a parent can be!

8th grade AWARE program
This week in health class, the 8th grade AWARE program will take place. Students will receive this presentation during their regular health class. If a student is not in health class they will be “pulled out” of their fifth or eighth hour class during one of the trimesters for this four day presentation.
During the four day program, several community agencies will present information on the topic of sexuality education. Topics addressed will include: Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Sexual Violence prevention, Teen Pregnancy and general decision making.
There was a parent meeting about the AWARE program that 8th grade parents were invited to in the fall. Aspects of the sexuality education program were discussed. If any parent would like further information about the program, contact Mrs. Conley.

Lifeskills last week was a great experience for all of the health classes! This week we have gone back to the "regular" health curriculum.
The sixth grade classes are finishing a unit on fitness and overall physical health. They will be working on unit 5 study guides in class on Wednesday and should be prepared for a test and folder check Friday.
The seventh graders are continuing in the drug and alcohol unit. This week they are learning about the short and long term dangers associated with alcohol use. They will also be working on refusal skills.
The eighth grade classes have started the reproductive system unit. Next week we will have presenters from the AWARE program coming into our health classes.
