OME OF THE SIXTH-GRADERS AT
WHITAKER MIDDLE SCHOOL
WERE CONTENDERS IN A BOWL
SAME, BUT THEY DIDN’T PLAY ON A
:IELD OR WITH A FOOTBALL.
T hese students com peted using their
;nowlcdge o f the dangers o f drugs in the
ch ool’s “ Anti Drug Bowl. The information
hat the students studied was taken from the
H ere’s Looking At You 2000" curriculum ,
'h e students were quizzed on the hazards of
ilcohol, steroids, cocaine, nicotine and m an-
uana use, says the “ Anti Drug Bowl facilita­
v
tor student services specialist Edna Mae Pittman.
Mr. Jack G oodm an, sixth-grade teacher
coordinated the event. There were five, ten
and fifteen point questions in each drug group.
The students were divided into five groups as
they studied the curriculum . “This was totally
a cooperative learning experience because not
only were they responsible for their group’s learn­
ing but also had to make sure that the students in
the other groups studied as well; says Edna Mae.
The teachers involved were M rs. Janet
Cook, Mrs. C aro, G ullen, Mr. Jack G oodm an
and Mr. Joe Nunn. “ As the questions w ere
P

read and the answ ers given, I w as sure that I
would have to remove some o f the teachers
because o f their excitem ent.” The students
w ere wonderful and it was obvious that some
groups had studied harder than others. Every
student was a w inner because they did indeed
learn about the dangers o f drug use. The
winning class, Mrs C ook’s was treated to a
“Pizza Party.”
A long with the “ Anti Drug Bowl was a
“A nti D rug Poster C ontest”.
T he w inners in order were: Irene Pietrok.
“ D rinking and Driving D on’t M ix,” Shaw n
Crow , ‘A ctually I’m G onna Puke So D on’t
C hew ’ and Q iana M ullen, “ D on’t Use Pot or
Y o u ’ll

C a u g h t.”

Rogers said. “These skills help our em ployees
m eet the challenges of dealing with a diverse
w orkforce. The curriculum also provides
em ployees with information they need to ad ­
dress questions form our custom ers on issues
including nutrition, environm ent and educa-

To attend H.U., students m ust first co m ­
plete M cD onald’s m anagem ent developm ent
