Last week I spoke with seventh graders from Prairie Wind Middle School. This week I spoke with the 5th, 6th, and 8th graders. My SADD members from Perham High traveled with me to also speak to each classroom individually.
We had a very busy afternoon planned for them. We had two high school students go into each classroom in each grade. They spoke with kids about SADD and making good decisions and how to say no when someone asks you to smoke.
I addressed each grade on a personal level. I shared my personal stories with them and informed them with some shocking statistics. It was a very busy afternoon and the kids kept me on my feet. I adjusted to each grades enthusiasm. I had a 6th grader ask me if I was famous. I laughed. My sixth grade teacher piped up and said that I was. I had to smile. It brought me back to my days at Prairie Wind Middle School.
25 PHS SADD members and our friends along with myself had an incredible day speaking with the very energetic kids from Prairie Wind. I hope they had a blast!
