At St Margaret Mary, the 8th grade class takes a course called Teen Power. It is basically a sex ed class. Teaches them the basics. They have instructors come in from a different school and parish, to make it less awkward for the kids. Last year, the 7th graders took a class called the Pure and Simple Lifestyle. This is an abstinence awareness class. It is taught by high school kids from Kapaun. Anyways, Emi's class took the course this year and at the end of the course they were all rewarded with t shirts enblazoned with the Top 10 reasons to wait to have sex printed on the back. It is a very interesting t shirt to say the least.
Emmers enjoyed the class. It taught her to respect and be respected. Not all of the schools in the diocese offer this program, so it seems we are "ahead of the curve". I read the handouts, becuase parents had to give permission, and it is a solid program. I hope they can expand out to more schools, even if Kapaun is responsible for it...haha!

Sounds like it was a good class. Hats off to StMM, for being a head of the curve NO MATTER WHO THE TEACHER IS!!
