Sober Squad Thank You

On Thursday, October 25 and Friday, October 26 the EHS Sober Squad visited with the 8th grade LRT students. They did an exceptional job! I really appreciate all the hard work of the Sober Squad and their advisors!

Take a moment to say THANK YOU by posting a comment saying thanks and telling the Sober Squad what you enjoyed about their presentation. I'll send your responses to Mr. Nilsen next week.

    Thank you Sober Squad! I had a great time learning about drugs and drinking... My favorite part was the small groups and the pyramid "Is it worth it?". I also like the commercials even though they were kind of intense. Thank you!

    Sober Squad,
    Thanks so much for teaching us about being sober and not using drugs or alcohol. Your stories about your experiences and the commericals that you showed us really explained to me how important it is not to use.

    Thanks sober squad! You guys are setting a GREAT example for young people in Edina and I think that it is really important for Teens our age to see that older kids, who some people look up to, can commit to doing something that so many teens are under pressure to do. I thought it was good.

    YEAH SOBER SQUAD!!!! Thank you guys so much for coming! I knew some stuff about drinking and drugs but you guys helped me understand the details, and how much it affects you, but everyone around you as well. You are a really good influence. I know alot of you guys, and seeing how you arent involved in drugs and drinking makes me look up to you guys even more. You should keep coming back to valley view, and maybe even talk to the seventh graders as well. Thanks again, and keep up your good work!
