Presentation from PFH

Coach Wagenknecht's classes were in the health room today with Mrs. Kelly from Preferred Family Health. The presentation topic was prescription drugs and heroin use. It was a powerful presentation with many, many, many questions on the topic. We also watched snipets of the documentary "Chasing the Dragon" (we were sure to cut out any vulgar language).

We encourage all parents to talk to their child about the presentation today and educate them on the dangers of prescription drugs and heroin. If you need further assistance, I would be more than happy to answer any questions.

One of the highlights today that you can enact right away is to lock up any and all prescription drugs in your house so that your kids cannot get to them without your knowledge. This even includes items like cough syrup and Nyquil.

I have attached a video from CNN about a Kirkwood teen who details his heroin journey if you would like to watch it.

Please talk to your children and let me know if you need any information or have questions.

St. Louis Blues Street Team

Today Coach Wagenknecht's classes had a visit from the St. Louis Blues Street Team. They are a school/community outreach program with the goal of getting hockey into area schools. The street team went over some hockey basics (holding a stick, passing, shooting, etc.) then went into some street hockey games. It was a blast!!!

We had a bunch of students who did really well today and I would highly encourage you to check out some youth hockey programs in the area and get your kids involved!! You can contact me if you would like some more information.

Enjoy the pictures below!!!
