Minnesota Chemical Health Week

The week of November 15th-19th we will be recognizing Minnesota Chemical Health Week (MCHW). This is an annual event that focuses on the effects of using drugs and alcohol. Throughout the district, different schools will be participating in various activities related to this event in order to heighten the awareness of substance abuse. At Grainwood, students will have the opportunity to participate in short classroom activities related to chemical health. The theme for Grainwood's Chemical Health Week is..."I Have the Power to be Drug Free!" The theme for this year goes along with our CARES for the month: Assertion. On Wednesday, November 17th, schools across the nation will be wearing red as a way of showing they are chemical free. Students and staff at Grainwood are also encouraged to wear red on this day, so mark your calendars!
