#EGMS

Many thanks to Mr. Ziff (PE/Health teacher), East Granby Youth Services (EGYS), and the Farmington Valley Health District (FVHD) for collaborating to do some lessons related to making healthy choices.  Specifically, our 8th graders learned about the ill effects of vaping, alcohol use, and marijuana in terms of body changes, social changes, and addiction.  The first day was a workshop full of simulations of what happens when people are under the influence and how decision making and hand eye coordination can be impaired.  On the second day , Justine Ginsberg from FVHD reinforced this information and also taught about prescription drugs, addiction, and how to get help.
