The project outline was explained in class to the students is posted on our team website, www.team72.co and will remain until after the project is due.

This week in health we are continuing our drug unit. We are answering the question, "How can we help ourselves and others make healthy choices in terms of drug use?" We are exploring the realities of drug addiction. The students will be engaging in activities that will help them practice refusal skills to increase their prepardness in real life situations. Please send back permission skips for the sexuality unit if you haven't done so already. Thank you!Mathematics
