Classrooms this year. You would not believe some of the answers 1 got.” “Yes 1 would. Most of them probably gave some ‘cute, snide’ remarks.” “Not that many. Of course a few did. 1 would have been shocked if everyone had given straight an- swers, but most were sincere and their answers show the wide range of activities used by teachers as well as the many areas covered.” “You’ve made me curious. What were some of the comments?” “Many students had a favorable reaction to the Sarasota Drug Program which was presented through the social studies department.” “That was in one of my classes. It was interesting, and I learned some things I didn’t know about drugs and the reasons that people take them. I think each student could have learned something to help them in the future.” Left: Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Bishop and Mr. Parramore officially cut ribbon for new lunchroom.

Sid Davis Band Director James Dickson Mathematics Charles Green JROTC Instructor Mary Jo Hargrove English “Exactly how was the program handled?” “We saw video tapes which were followed by classroom discussions. One very important aspect was the discussions concerning decision making and choosing alternatives. There were some stu- dents who felt the videos were uninteresting and thai more activities were needed, but most students felt that the program was good.” “Most seventh graders had fascinating answers. They found having a mock trial fun as well as educa tional. They were also involved in making projecti that showed something about our nation’s herit- age.” “Oh, 1 saw those. They were displayed in the media center. Some were very unique. They had used matches, old bottles, scraps, and almost any- thing to make flags, eagles, the capital, maps and many other items.” 16 Curriculum
