Spring Testing
Personal Safety for Children - Week of January 13
The Indiana Center for PREVENTION of Youth Abuse and Suicide will be presenting to all NBE students during the week of January 13. As a community, we must think of childhood sexual abuse as a preventable disease. Collaboration between educators, parents and guardians, child advocates, the medical community, law enforcement and our communities-at-large can proactively protect our children before abuse ever happens. Indiana Center for the Prevention of Youth Abuse and Suicide (formerly Chaucie’s Place) will be visiting our school soon to participate in this collaborative effort. The Child Lures - Think first and stay safe curriculum will be presented to the students. Providing relevant, balanced and proven prevention strategies to families and children increases awareness and knowledge of how to recognize, interrupt, stop and prevent these crimes.
For K-6 (elementary) the body safety program will cover:
· Using our brains to keep us safe
· Bullying
· Body safety and the idea “my body belongs to me.”
· Brainstorm trusted adults
· The difference between secrets and surprises
· Trusting our “guts” or innate feelings
· The idea that everyone is special
*****As a parent if you do not want your child to participate, please contact the school counselor (Mrs. Sherri Leiner sleiner@hse.k12.in.us) for the opt-out form.
STAFF SPOTLIGHT
Mrs. Christi Drew - Instructional Assistant
A little bit about me: My name is Christi Drew. My given name is Rebecca Christine, so I actually go by a nickname of my middle name. I was given my name so that I would have the same initials as my dad, but have gone by my middle name ever since I was born. I have a bachelors degree in Event Management. I went back to school to receive my teaching license in 2011. I finished my student teaching while I was pregnant with my first child and was blessed with the opportunity to stay at home. My husband, Kevin, and I have a 7 year old son named Waylon and a 4 year old daughter named Stella. I started back at work by covering a maternity leave IA position at Riverside two years ago. I filled a semester long maternity leave at Riverside immediately after that and have been a Resource IA at New Britton for almost a year now.
What brings me joy: Seeing my kids happy is the most important thing in the world. I’ve had the same group of girlfriends for 18+ years. I have two brothers so they are like the sisters I never had. Although, I’m always trying to eat healthy, I love to eat! If I had to pick a favorite food, it would probably be pizza. The only thing I don’t really care for are olives. I also love to travel and find any opportunity I can to go to Florida with my family. An ice cold Diet Coke (in a can) will always make me happy!
Fun fact: In college, I backpacked across the east coast of Australia and scuba dived in the Great Barrier Reef.
