Week of Oct. 11th
Well we did it.  For the past to weeks, we used guest speakers, videos, others stories, drunk goggles, golf carts, and our text books to stop the stupid idea of hurting our bodies, reputations, property, and many others when it comes to drugs/alcohol.  This upcoming week, we will be discussing RELATIONSHIPS and the many things that can affect it.
