McMillan The wzek began with par- ents' night on Monday from 5:30 till 8:30 p.m. The full staff was available to spend time speaking with parents about thcir son or daughter's progress as noted in the mid term reports sent home on Wednesday. Soccer season is in full swing now with all levels,of teams practicing and playing. There are games at St. Anne's on Tuesday through Thursday and a Junior Girls tournament in Goderich all day Friday. Our track and field team travels to St. Thomas Saturday. This past week we sent out our latest newsletter. Parents should ask students to bring the newsletters home so that the family is up to date on current happenings at the, school. The Huron County Health Unit came to St. Anne's to introduce the new ACTION KIT. This is a comprehensive document that helps teachers . to see the possibilities for curriculum development to promote healthy living and to deal with drug abuse through day to day classroom curricu- lum. During the meeting we heard that alcohol continues to lead the way as the most abused drug by people today. Tobacco use is up and the use of cannabis is as well. As a teacher I have attended meetings such as this before. What made this one unique was that these people brought materials that recognized that News from St. Anne's we were teachers and that we had some influence on stu- dent choices. Recently,'we at St. Anne's have made the issue of drug abuse and impairment a pri- ority. We began by staging a parents' information night on drug. abuse last year, and this year the School Advisory Council sponsored another meeting at which parents spoke with counselors, a police officer and a lawyer about the problems a family faces when their child gets involved with drugs. There 'were some great words of advice from these Huron County agencies who seem tireless in their efforts to help all, curb drug abuse and addictive behaviour. Our chapter of Ontario Students .Against Impaired Driving (OSAID) has worked hard. They helped set up the Smart Risk Program and shared in the task with CHSS the host school. Thoy are actively preparing for the OSAID Awareness Week events starting with a car wash at St. Anric's Sat. May 9th from 8:30-2:00 p.m. Staff are seeking input from our school government's stu- dent leaders about the issues that surround drug abuse. We are seeking new •ways to deal with a problem that has plagued all schools for far too king. As the mecttng,came to an end I thought how lucky we. were to have so many indi- viduals like these three from the Public Health Unit to assist us as educators to bring facts to our students in a truthful, current and knowl- edgeable fashion abbut an issue that affects all who live in our society. I looked at all who attended and was pleased to sec their interest during and after the meeting. We must teach the whole stu- dent and that mcans looking at all that affects them as they make their way in the world. Opinions about issues are powerful only if their basis is fact.
