[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school (SFS) does not (as far as I have been able to learn) conduct any health-oriented or other presentations along the lines of "Just Say No" (the variation my generation heard). This is disappointing for a couple reasons, not the least of which is that last school year, a Sidwell junior overdosed. The school had a teaching opportunity there, which they didn't take.

Do other area independent schools do any of this type of teaching? Sidwell has "health relationship / health online behavior" workshops, but not drugs/alcohol. Seems like a missed opportunity.[/quote]

Just asked my SFS ‘24 who told me they have this once a year in HS - one of the days where they do speakers etc. it’s always people coming in and sharing their stories. Also was touched in a bit in SFS MS. Email Robbie Gross AP for Academic Affairs for confirmation. [/quote]

I talked with my SFS '23 who told me the same thing. He thinks they do a good job of covering it -- not too heavy-handed.  [/quote]
