Our Native American High school students attended the annual Seneca Nation Youth Summit on Wednesday! Students from Silver Creek, Lake Shore, and Gowanda gathered for this year's event which continued to focus on cultural activities and wellness. Workshops included making corn husk crafts, nutrition with a focus on eating a healthy traditional diet, and a dynamic career panel that offered valuable insights and advice. The capstone of the event was a traditional social dance.
DID YOU KNOW?
Children of parents who talk to their teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don't. Only a quarter of teens report having these conversations though.
Red Ribbon Week, (October 23-31), is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the nation. This is your opportunity to get the ongoing conversation started!
This year's theme is Be Kind to Your Mind. Live Drug Free. (TM) As a district, we are recognizing it in grades Pre-K through Twelve!
Visit www.redribbon.org to learn more about Red Ribbon Week and get tips for talking to your kids about drugs. The life you save may be that of someone you know.
