Lifeskills 1/23-1/27

Next 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 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 :)

Happy New Year!

In health this week, 6th graders are working on a mental health project. The projects are being done with partners and will be presented to the class next week. In addition, the first unit test will take place in health class next week. Students will receive a study guide and will have review time in class.

The seventh graders are working on the tobacco unit. They are working on anti-smoking projects that are due next Friday.

The eighth graders are wrapping up the nutriton unit. We have been discussing eating disorders this week and what to do if you suspect a friend is suffering from an eating disorder. The nutrition unit test and folder check will be on Monday.

Have a great weekend!
