9th Grade SHARE
9th Grade SHARE
The 9th grade course of study at FALA includes twelve classes of the S.H.A.R.E. (Sexual Health and Relationship Education) curriculum.  The goal of the curriculum is to prepare students to understand their bodies and make informed, responsible decisions that will help ensure their health. To accomplish this goal, a medically accurate and asset-based approach to sexuality is presented.  These classes will build upon the 7thgrade curriculum and are taught by Rachel Billowitz, MPH, from North Country HealthCare. We have found this curriculum to be valuable to our students. Gessica Neilson is providing permission slips to parents via email. Additionally, a paper copy will be provided to students. Permission slips will be provided the week of November 12th, and are due by December 14th.

You are invited to attend a program for parents and guardians on Wed. Dec. 5, 2018 from 5:30-7:00 pm at FALA, in Room 10. Rachel will first provide an overview of the curriculum. She will then offer an interactive workshop on “Talking with Your Teens about Sexuality.” Please RSVP to Gessica Neilson if you plan on attending. You may still attend even if you didn't RSVP.
FALA Student Reading @ Bright Side Bookshop
Students from Allison Gruber's Advanced Creative Writing class will be reading original works of poetry and short prose at Bright Side Bookshop on Thursday, November 15th from 5:30 - 6:30 . The event is free. Please come out and hear some of FALA's outstandingly talented creative writers!
