PARENTS: BE AWARE OF THESE DANGEROUS GAMES
We encourage parents to be educated regarding current dangerous trends with which some of our youth feel the need to experiment. There are many trends listed on-line. Here are a few trends which we have seen in Chico schools recently.
Purple Drank: This drink was made popular in the hip-hop community. It is created by mixing prescription cough syrup and either carbonated drink or fruit juice with an optional jolly rancher candy for sweetness. Consumption of this drink can lead to impaired motor-skills and drowsiness.
Xanax: Around school, they can be referred to as 'bars', 'zanies', 'planks', and 'hulks', due to their green, pea-like shape. The effects of this drug can cause one to look drunk, slurring of words, drooping head and psychomotor retardation.
THC Jolly Rancher and Gummy Bears: Perhaps the fastest growing trend due to the ease of their accessibility and low price. This is created by melting down a regular candy and mixing it with honey oil or hash. They are then rewrapped, making them very difficult to detect. For further information: TCH Jolly Rancher/Gummy Bears
Sharpie Shock Challenge: Students draw a black mark using a sharpie pen on their body. They then use the flash from their cell phone and take a pic of the black mark. The ink reacts with the flash, causing a shock. For further information: Sharpie Shock Challenge
It is our hope that all parents will have discussions with their children about these and other activities in which students could inadvertently put themselves or others in danger.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, contact CJHS Principal, Pedro Caldera by phone at 891-3066 or email Mr. Caldera.

What is Bullying?
Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.
