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.
