Welcome back for week 2 of Operation Aware.

We hope you have had a chance to set a goal for the next seven weeks. Maybe you want to get an “A” on a test or score a goal in your next game. Goals help us stay on our road of life and achieve our goals and dreams.

If you have time before the video, take a moment to think of something good that has happened this week. When I have the chance to teach Operation Aware in person, I love to hear good things that are happening for my students. even when it feels like nothing is going right, there is always something we can find that is positive; we call this finding good news. We will practice practice finding good news over the next seven weeks.

This week is a big topic; Marijuana! There is so much information about CBD and marijuana that it can be hard to navigate what is legal and illegal, especially in Oklahoma. We will dive into it and break it down so you will understand the difference. Be sure to write down any questions you might have for me and submit them to the link below. 

Week 3

Hey Friends, Today we Begin Lesson 3. Before you begin:

  • Take a minute to THINK OF SOMETHING GOOD THAT HAPPENED THIS PAST WEEK AND SHARE WITH THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU.

  • Remember to write down any questions you have and submit them so we can provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision.

This week we will discuss nicotine. This topic can be tough to discuss because you may already know and love someone who uses nicotine products. As you review this information, please be aware that people who use nicotine products are not bad people, we are providing you with this knowledge so that you can make the best choice for your life and health. People who use nicotine products most often would not encourage their own child to try them because they know how hard it can be to quit once you start.
