Counseling Corner
Sequoia Celebrates Red Ribbon Week: Your Future is Key, Stay DRUG FREE!
During students lunches this week we had conversations about the importance of staying drug free, making good choices, and how to avoid peer pressure. Students signed a school-wide pledge declaring they will: Think of their future, and stay drug free. Now would be a good time to have follow-up conversations with your student and ask them about their values, goals and future. Ask them how drug could impact or change their dreams.
