Outreach Principals Grad MessageThe Ponoka Outreach Staff wishes the very best to all of our graduates. Our grads have taken many different paths to earn their diplomas - some have been with us since grade 8 and others for just a semester or two. In each case, their commitment to hard work has enabled them to earn a high school diploma, and in many cases, we have given some kind of push to all of them. Quoting from

David McNallys book - The Push, Sometimes we need it. Sometimes we need to give it. It can be the greatest gift you every give. It will change a life forever. We are extremely proud of these folks because of their excellent academic achievement and good citizenship.

Best wishes and continued success to all members of this graduating class!

PONOKA NEWS Wednesday, June 5, 2013

Students are writing their nal exams and school will soon be out. If tests in math and history are important, it is just as essential that young people be able to judge what is true and what is false where drinking and driving are concerned. Getting a passing grade on this test might prevent a graduation formal from ending in tragedy:

1. DRINKING COFFEE ACCELERATES THE METABOLIZING AND ELIMINATION OF ALCOHOL FROM THE BODY.

FALSE. Time is the only factor in sobering up. Getting some fresh air, having a nap, or taking a cold shower arent any more effective than drinking coffee in eliminating alcohol.

2. ONLY 3 PERCENT OF ALCOHOL IS ELIMINATED THROUGH SWEAT.

TRUE. This means that busting some moves on the dance oor wont help you sober up more quickly.

3. NO MATTER HOW MANY DRINKS ARE CONSUMED DURING AN EVENING, ALL YOU NEED TO DO TO BE SAFE IS TO STOP DRINKING AN HOUR BEFORE DRIVING.

FALSE. To respect allowable legal blood alcohol levels, it takes a lot longer than 60 minutes before being able to drive, especially if someone has been drinking for hours.

4. IT TAKES TWO HOURS TO ELIMINATE ALL ALCOHOL FROM THE BLOOD WHEN A BLOOD ALCOHOL RATE OF 0.07 HAS BEEN REACHED.

FALSE. It takes about ve hours to eliminate all that alcohol from the blood.

5. ALCOHOL AFFECTS PERIPHERAL VISION, HEARING, THE CAPACITY TO EVALUATE DISTANCES, AND REFLEXES.

TRUE. All these factors mean that a person who has consumed alcohol has lower levels of concentration, poor coordination, and will likely be unable to react properly when faced with an obstacle.
