DECEMBER 2020
#BrookwoodStrong As we begin December, I look back and think how quickly this school year has gone so far! We look forward to being able to return to onsite learning. We are hoping that it will be safe enough to return back for the second half of this school year. As we receive updates from the IDPH, the CDC and ISBE the Superintendent will keep all of our parents updated. There are some important upcoming dates during December that you need to be aware of. On December 7th, 8th, and 9th, our students will participate in a “LIVE”, interactive virtual health program presented by Candor Health Education. Personnel from Candor Health Education will virtually present their program targeted to adolescent youth. 7th and 8th grade students will be participating in the “Science Behind Drugs: Decisions” program.
In this program, the students will: • Understand how alcohol, vaping, marijuana, opioid pain medication, and poly drug use (combination of drugs) affect the brain and body • Analyze the impact of drug use on short/long term goals and a deeper understanding of brain development
