This 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!
The week back after break has been really productive in health classes.
The sixth graders are learning about fitness. They have been in the IMC looking at various websites about teen fitness to gain an understanding on how important maintaining a level of fitness is.
The seventh graders wrapped up the tobacco unit this week. They took the unit test today and had a folder check. Their tobacco projects are due Monday. Next week we will be beginning a unit on alcohol.
The eighth graders watched the movie "Tuesdays with Morrie" this week. They are learning about the Kubler-Ross stages of grief and we are discussing how different cultures deal with death.
