Hey Parents-

    My goal as an educator is not just teach your students the importance of a healthy lifestyle, but to be able to help parents out as well.  This page will give you advice and tips on how to get your child to eat healthy, making sure your child stay's drug free, what signs to look for in case you child is drinking, smoking, or doing drugs, and the drug survey results that students take here in my health class.  As the year goes by I will be updating this page and be adding more tips.  If you ever have any questions, feel free to email me at jgabriel@sd13.org.

Every Monday night on A&E at 8:00 they show a program call "Intervention".  This show follows real life drug addicts and then put them through an intervention process to try and save their life.  This is a great show to watch with your kids to teach them the dangers of drugs.  We watch some of these shows in class as well.  

 

Kids watch "Super Size Me" in 6th grade.  If you have not seen it, I highly recommend you watch it.  You can rent it at blockbuster or even buy it at any store that sells DVD.
