I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend! Students in all health classes need to remember that any late or missing work needs to be turned in by Monday in order to receive credit for it!

In health classes next week, students can be prepared for the following: Sixth graders will be wrapping up the Body System unit. They will cover the last couple of systems and will take the unit test next Friday. Seventh graders are finishing up the drug unit. They will take the unit test on Wednesday. They can look forward to the career fair next Friday! Eighth graders will be working on the Teen Parent Project in the IMC next week. It will be an eye opening experience for students to see what it costs to raise a child!

Wow, the countdown to the end of the year is upon us! Time flies when you are having fun (and busy at work!) Thank you to all parents who contributed to our amazing Teacher Appreciation Week lunches, they were DELICIOUS! Next week, the sixth graders will continue learning about the body systems. The seventh graders are continuing the drug unit. Eighth graders will be working on the Gameplan abstinence curriculum. It should lead to some interesting discussions! Look for parent interviews to come home and be completed with your child. Enjoy the weather and have a great weekend!

8th grade Amplify program next week

Dear Parents of Eighth Grade Students: As a part of our overall health and prevention program, Lakeview Jr. High School will sponsor the Amplify Youth Development Program for our eighth grade students during the 2011-2012 school year. The Amplify Program is designed to provide junior high school students with information and resources to properly deal with relationship issues before dating begins. It is our sincere belief that properly educated adolescents are much more likely to make good decisions, develop healthy relationships and postpone involvement in sexual activity. The Amplify Program will be presented to students at Lakeview during health education classes. Though not every student is enrolled in health class, all eighth graders will participate in the one week program at some point in the school year. In preparation for the Amplify Program, a special parent information night was held in the fall. If parents were not able to attend and would like more information on the program, feel free to contact me. If you have any questions at all or would like more information, let me know! In addition, you can get more information about the Amplify program as well as parent resources by visiting http://www.amplifyyouthdevelopment.com
