Too Good for Drugs
During our 7th session of T.G.F.D., Deputy Seward shared a power point presentation about alcohol. Students learned some of the myths people believe about this substance, and then learned the actual facts about it. Students received a sheet with myths and facts about alcohol that should be shared and discussed with a parent.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
A special thanks to Mrs. Selig, Mrs. Zimmerman, and Mrs. Jarmakowicz for chaperoning our field trip to the Museum of Science and Industry. We all enjoyed our hands-on lab experience and our time exploring various exhibits. Also, thank you to our Valentine Party helpers. Mrs. Blazevich, Mr. Bastuga, and Mrs. Zimmerman did a wonderful job planning and running our party. Mrs. Rapinchuk sent in some delicious treats, Mrs. Barowski sent in plates and napkins, and Mrs. Topp provided juice. We all had a great time!
