Did you eat breakfast this morning? Do you eat lunch and dinner every day? Do you ever go to bed hungry? You may not be AWARE, but about 1 in 10 families in Somerset County struggles to afford nutritious meals on a regular basis. As Red Ribbon week wraps up, we want to remind you to please bring in canned goods for our local food pantry. Each homeroom has a collection bag and the food drive will continue until next Friday, Nov 3rd. If every student and staff member brought in ONE item each, we would have about 1,300 donations! Let's show our UNITY in our efforts to be a healthy, drug-free community - remember, Unity starts with U!
And now:
The winners of yesterday’s Red Ribbon trivia contest are:
1. Om Kathira
2. Evan Adinolf
3. Tyler Kennette
4. Breanna Schechter
5. Kira Pinto
Please report to the Annex office to pick up your prize!
These students knew that according to British journalist Johann Hari, the opposite of addiction is CONNECTION. His research led him to conclude that the root of addiction is the user’s inability to connect to others in healthy ways, so drugs and alcohol become their primary focus. In his view, the key to recovery is not shaming and isolating users, but to connect them with a safe and supportive community.
The final “R U AWARE?” Trivia Question is:
What chemical in the body is released during exercise that elevates mood and decreases pain - in other words, creates a “natural high?”
If you know, write down your answer and give it to your homeroom teacher.
Response envelopes will be picked up by AWARE members during Channel 1.
Five winners of gift cards to Dunkin Donuts will be announced on Monday!
