Be Wiser

by McMillen Health

Students will learn the facts about alcohol, tobacco, and prescription medicine. A major emphasis will be the effects of these drugs on the brain and the body so students will choose a drug-free life. Activities will include role-playing to help students develop the refusal and resistance skills necessary to avoid the influence of peer pressure. Students will learn that sleeping, exercising, eating healthy foods and having a positive attitude will all work together as four keys to being healthy.
