Dear BHS Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers,
My name is Jennifer Lord-Paquin, and I am the Student Assistance Provider (SAP) here at Belmont High School. My role at BHS is to connect with students and provide support in a variety of areas including, but not limited to, substance use, body image, relationships, and peer pressure. Students are given a confidential platform in which they may share their concerns without fear of reprisal. Another part of my role at BHS is to provide students with educational opportunities regarding illicit substances and mental health awareness; one avenue through which to provide information and insights to the student body is through Red Ribbon Week.
BHS will be having its annual Red Ribbon Week next week from Monday, 10/28/19, through Friday, 11/1/19. This year's theme for Red Ribbon Week is "Send a Message. Stay Drug Free." Red Ribbon Week is observed at BHS because it provides students with an opportunity to receive education regarding illicit substances as well as methods of prevention of illicit substance use.
This year's schedule for Red Ribbon Week is as follows:
Monday 10/28/19 - Homeroom Door Decorating Contest
Tuesday 10/29/19 - Make Your Own Red Ribbon
Wednesday 10/30/19 - National Drug IQ Quiz
Thursday 10/31/19 - Students and staff wear red! Writing prompt: How will you incorporate this year's Red Ribbon Week theme into your life?
Friday 11/1/19 - There will be a speaker coming to speak with students on his experience with a TBI (traumatic brain injury), which was one result of a car accident. During the time of his car crash, this speaker had actually been within the legal limit of alcohol consumption. If your student does not feel that they are able to engage in that presentation, please have him/her come speak with an available staff member in the guidance office.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Lord-Paquin
BHS SAP
