“Ni****ne is not for me.”
That was the powerful message echoed by several students at Whitlock Flexible Learning Center!

We had a great time hosting several Lunch and Learns and diving into real conversations about the harms of va**ng.

The way they showed up with honesty, curiosity, and a real desire to make healthier choices was just awesome to see.

🚭 Ni****ne isn’t just bad for your lungs — it’s rough on your skin too, and it can actually increase your risk for skin cancer.

Here’s how it works, in plain language:
• Ni****ne makes it harder for your skin to repair DNA damage from the sun.
• It shrinks blood vessels, so your skin doesn’t get the oxygen and nutrients it needs.
• It can weaken your skin’s immune system, making it harder to catch early cancer cells.
• And it ramps up oxidative stress, which basically means more damage and faster aging.

So yeah… your skin really hates ni****ne.
This month is the perfect time to show it some love: wear sunscreen, moisturize, stay hydrated, and if you’re using ni****ne, consider cutting back or reaching out for support to quit. Your skin (and the rest of your body) will thank you.

💛 Healthy skin is lifelong skin.

Thank you to McCracken Middle School for hosting a “V**e Talk” during Red Ribbon Week for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.

The presentation sparked great discussion, with students asking thoughtful questions about va**ng, peer pressure, and health - what’s in it, why it’s risky, and how to make healthy choices. 💪 The questions were 🔥 and the conversations were honest and eye-opening.

Everyone left with more knowledge — and a stronger commitment to make smart, healthy choices. 💭👏

🌿 Indigenous Peoples’ Day 🌿

Today we pause to honor the First Peoples of this land — their strength, wisdom, and sacred traditions that continue to guide us.

Before commercial to***co ever existed, Indigenous communities used to***co in ceremony, in prayer, and as medicine — a sacred way to connect with the Creator and show respect.

Then to***co was stolen and twisted it into something harmful and addictive.

As we work toward a commercial to***co-free future, let’s remember:

🪶 Sacred to***co heals.

🚭 Commercial to***co kills.
