Science Students Learn About Substance Awareness and Communication Skills

Students in the science classes recently took part in an engaging and educational presentation led by the Drug and Alcohol Commission of Lawrence County. The session focused on important topics such as marijuana use, drug tolerance, and the effects of nicotine on the body. The presenters shared valuable information about how substances can impact health, decision-making, and future goals, helping students better understand the science behind substance use and its consequences.

Following the presentation, students put their learning into action with an interactive game of Jenga. This wasn’t just any game—it was designed to help build communication skills, encourage teamwork, and highlight the importance of smart decision-making under pressure. The activity allowed students to connect the lessons from the presentation to real-life scenarios in a fun and hands-on way.

Overall, the event was both informative and enjoyable, giving students practical tools and knowledge to make healthier choices while also strengthening their collaboration and communication abilities.
