My Project

One social pressure students may face is drinking and drug use; impairment goggles will show students the effect on their bodies firsthand.

Providing this hands-on resource will give students meaningful insight into the effects of substances on the body.

Additionally, having supplies on hand such as notebooks, pencils, and Kleenex will help students have the tools they need to be successful.

My students come from diverse cultural and socio-economic status and I would love to provide them with resources to help inform their choices as they go through their middle and high school years.
