Lifeskills last week was wonderful! This week we are back to our regular health classes.
The 6th graders are starting a unit on physical health. They will be learning about hygiene, excercise and keeping fit.
The 7th graders are working on a tobacco project of their choice. They will be wrapping up the tobacco unit this week and taking the chapter test next Monday.
The 8th graders are doing a unit about Death & Dying. They will be watching the movie "Tuesday With Morrie" and discussing death and dying in our culture and others.

Lifeskills
This week we are lucky to have Mr. Shilliga 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 students will discuss what certain drugs do to the body. The focus will be on refusal skills and how to "Say NO."
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 :)
