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.
