BHS to Have Presentation on Drug and Alcohol Abuse
|
 The Baraboo School District is committed to providing prevention education and support for students and their families around the issue of drugs and alcohol abuse and use. I am pleased to announce that Mike McGowan will conduct an all-school assembly for our Baraboo High School students on January 22nd (the first day of the second semester) to kick off a series of presentations around these Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) topics. Mr. McGowan is president of McGowan and Associates, a training and consultation firm specializing in alcohol, drug, conflict resolution, and workplace and family issues. He is also a motivational speaker and his seminars and presentations are uniquely educational and entertaining. Mr. McGowan spoke to our student body on the first day of the 2016-17 school year, and his positive and motivating message was well received. We are excited about having him back to Baraboo High School for this upcoming presentation.
Following Mr. McGowan's presentation, students will have the opportunity to sign up for a series of optional Enrichment sessions when additional AODA information will be presented to them from a variety of experts and professionals from around the area. Those presentations and related topics will take place on the following dates:
Friday, February 2nd--Current Drug Trends: Presented by the City of Baraboo Police Department
Tuesday, February 13th--Ripple Effect and Impact of Substance Abuse: Presented by Sauk County Criminal Justice Programs
The Baraboo School District is partnering with members of the Sauk County Criminal Justice Programs and City of Baraboo Police Department to create and deliver these outreach presentations. It is our goal that we will provide students current and factual information around AODA issues and to provide relevant resources. We also encourage parents/guardians to have conversations at home with your high school student(s) about these issues and to encourage them to sign up and actively participate in the optional Enrichment offerings.
If you have questions and/or are seeking additional information, please contact the high school at (608) 355-3940.
