Hey Tigers! Here is today’s Red Ribbon Week fact - According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, there are many reasons why people start taking drugs or abuse alcohol. These include trying to escape from reality, relieve pain, or just to fit in. Even once people realize the dangers, they may be unable to stop using drugs or alcohol because they become addicted. Addiction happens when you take a drug repeatedly. Drugs release a chemical in your brain called dopamine, which makes us feel good. Repeated use of drugs or alcohol floods the brain with too much dopamine, which changes the way our brain responds to the drug and makes it hard to stop using it. So, remember to Just Say No to all drugs unless you are under a doctor’s care! 

Reminder - Lettuce Talk with Mrs. Parnell during all three lunches today Rain or Shine!  Meet her in the Commons. 

Attention all students: FCA, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, will hold our next Huddle this Friday morning. This Friday we will have a guest speaker. Huddles will be every Friday morning, unless noted otherwise, in the small gym from 7:30-8:05am. Those attending need to enter the small gym through the doors near the outside basketball courts. Come join us for fellowship, food, and fun. Remember, FCA is not just for athletes. All are welcome!
