This 8-week program for 5th graders and 4-week program for 8th graders teaches students the personal, health, and legal consequences of substances, peer pressure, and decision-making and prepares them for the upper grades. Our end goal is to have your child complete this program with the knowledge and understanding that they have the power to make positive decisions for themselves.
Weekly your child will be involved in activities that develop their learning, communication, awareness, and friendships. Your child will learn the benefit of getting outside of their comfort zone which can help with the development and the ability to feel comfortable moving into new experiences.
Sign-ups come through the schools- keep an eye out for emails from your principals! Keep in mind we cap our programs due to room capacity.
