Daily Announcements: February 6, 2019

I'm senior Katie Coyne, TRU {Tobacco Reality Unfiltered} Co-President with some important information and opportunities . Did you know that:

  • JUUL has more than twice the amount of nicotine concentrate as many other brands of e-cigarettes. This has raised concerns that it may have a higher risk of addiction than other e-cigarettes. One cartridge, called a pod, has roughly the equivalent amount of nicotine as one pack of cigarettes.

  • You will be getting information via "Toilet Talk", a social norming campaign {No, not EVERYONE is doing it}, through March Advisory-playing Vaping Jeopardy and for students that are interested, a Lunch & Learn!


This week is the national Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action.  Check out the table in the Commons at lunch and the flyers around school for more information!

Each week in the month of February the CTE department will showcase one of its four program areas. Be sure to engage and support our CTE Month celebrations!
