WE ARE TEACHING A RESEARCH BASED PROGRAM CALLED BOTVIN LIFE SKILLS AT SMS. WE ARE IN OUR 2ND YEAR OF THE GRANT. OUR 6TH GRADE STUDENTS LEARN THIS DURING SCIENCE. OUR 7TH GRADE STUDENTS LEARN THIS DURING SOCIAL STUDIES. BELOW IS AN OVERVIEW.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The new edition of the Botvin LifeSkills Training Middle School program is a groundbreaking substance abuse and violence prevention program based on more than 30 years of rigorous scientific research. Now updated with new graphics, references and statistics, it is proven to be the most effective evidence-based program used in schools today. LifeSkills Training is comprehensive, dynamic, and developmentally designed to promote positive youth development. In addition to helping kids resist drug, alcohol, and tobacco use, the LifeSkills Training Middle School program also effectively supports the reduction of violence and other high-risk behaviors.

Note from Coach Jordan
I am so proud of what all the teams have accomplished this season. Especially the 6th grade team taking 2nd place in the 6th grade tournament held at North Middle School.
Each girl has made leaps and bounds of improvement in their volleyball skill set this past season; compared to when we started in August, they look like a entirely new team. I know they all will continue to be successful in all they do.
