In the 5^th Grade health curriculum, the students participate in a unit of instruction in Family Life Education.  A video on puberty, Always Changing – About You co-ed, is scheduled to be shown on June 27^th.  After the video, students will be able to asks clarifying questions about puberty.  If you missed the video preview nights at the EGUSD office, the link for the video is:  https://www.pgschoolprograms.com/Educators.
