Several weeks ago the grade 6 classes (2 of us) at our school went on a VIP trip. No, it doesn’t stand for very important person. It stands values, influences, peers.It is for grade 6 and it is for learning about drugs, peer pressure, and laws.We went to Thames Valley District School Board for a bunch of  presentations.

The first one was from the k9( short form for canine) unit. They came with a German Shepard named Axe.Next came a woman from the hospital.She talked to us about staying safe around drugs. Then she showed us a video of a taxi driver.He started to dose off. When he fell asleep,the taxi crashed.He wasn’t wearing a seat-belt,so he went flying backwards.  He luckily survived,but he had very bad injuries. Then a woman from the London Detention Center came to talk to us.She showed us pictures and talked to us about the jail where she worked. Then came my favourite part,and a lot of other peoples’ favourite,too.A man named Leroy came in to talk to us about racism.He told us a story when 911 happened, there was a Muslim woman who was called a terrorist just because of her religion.Then he showed us a video of a little boy  who was being bullied(I added it at the bottom). In the end, Leroy taught us not to judge somebody because of their religion or skin colour. I think my class had fun,and we are going to get a VIP shirt!
