Health is a required class that is taken in 7th grade. Students will learn about nutrition, disease, mental health, drug use and abuse and reproductive health. Much of this class is discussion based and student participation is expected. We are talking about them and how their health effects them personally, so their involvement is important. If you ever have questions about what we are doing, ask them first, then me ;)
Please join our class online at Google Classroom, I will post assignments and interact there: Email me for the code.
