Snowflakes This Week: This week, Twin Grove and Woodlawn Middle School seventh-graders finished up another Snowflakes sequence, where they learned how to keep themselves safe and healthy and make smart choices and live drug-free.
“The program strives to facilitate discussion and interaction among students, which lead to valuable decision making skills and how to handle peer pressure,” Mr. Grana shared in his Woodlawn Principal’s Message.
