Miles to Go Drug Prevention Education

On Friday, the sixth grade welcomed back Kelly T. from the Miles to Go Drug Prevention Education program. She worked with the class at the end of last year, and they were excited to work with her again. This year, the class took on the Amazing Race Challenge. They worked in teams to learn about many of common drugs and traced their origins around the world. They learned about the drug's impact on the human body and the potential uses and abuses of the drugs.  They also took a Body Challenge where they had to identify which organs and body systems different drugs impacted.  Finally, they ended the day with the Social Challenge where the teams had to navigate a "sticky situation" and rationalize their decision. It was all very lively and engaging. 

This is a springboard for many upcoming conversations we will have about drugs in our upcoming CPR meetings. Thank you to Kelly for providing a great foundation for our future work!
