IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE AN EAGLE!

LEARN, BELIEVE, DREAM, DARE

Congratulations to Horizon Honors High School Senior Jessica Leake, who received the "Eagle 12" Award last week! The award is given to a student who participates on a Horizon Honors Athletic Team all 12 sports seasons of their high school experience (3 seasons for 4 years!) She is only the third student to receive the award in the school's history!

Way to go!

Fentanyl Awareness

Fentanyl Awareness Day was May 10. Next week, students in College & Career Readiness, Digital Citizenship & Technology, and Scholastic Lab classes will view a video and engage in classroom discussion to heighten awareness about the dangers of Fentanyl.

Fentanyl is:

A potent prescription synthetic opioid drug approved by the FDA for pain relief and anesthetic.
80-100 times stronger than morphine
A potentially lethal dose of fentanyl is the size of 2 grains of salt.
According to the DEA, 2 out of 5 pills contain a potentially lethal dose of fentanyl

Awareness is key, and we need to educate our kids right now. Preparation is important to having a successful conversation with your kids. To help you with this challenging conversation, we’d like to give you a link to the free Natural High Fentanyl Toolkit: www.naturalhigh.org/fentanyl

Even if substance use is the last thing you need to worry about with your child, imagine, perhaps, that their awareness could help save a friend.
