This week is National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week, and next Friday marks the beginning of Alcohol Responsibility Month. Now is the perfect time to start and continue conversations with kids about alcohol and the negative effects of underage drinking on their developing brains using Ask, Listen, Learn resources, of course!

In response to requests from educators, these new online assessments enable you to measure your students’ knowledge before and after engaging with the Ask, Listen, Learn program by having students complete a pre-test and a post-test.

One essential partner in schools that can tie these efforts together is school administrators. These educators are such an important part of establishing a school culture that fosters development. So from all of us to you: THANK YOU, PRINCIPALS.

Each year, the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recognizes National School Counseling Week to celebrate the unique and important work of school counselors across the country. Not only do school counselors support students in achieving academic and career success, but they play a critical role in helping students stay safe and healthy.

For families, there is no shortage of things to talk about these days, and this Father’s Day, conversations have never been more important.

It’s Red Ribbon Week, a time to focus on prevention and character education in schools, and we are excited to share our resources to send one important message to kids: Say “YES” to a healthy lifestyle and “NO” to underage drinking! This week, we want YOU to do the same....

The sun may be setting on summer, but the spark of your conversations should only get brighter. Remember that it’s not just a one and done conversation, it’s the small conversations each day that make the most lasting impact.

Working together, we can teach our students to say “YES” to a healthy lifestyle and “NO” to underage drinking during the school year and beyond.
