The Always Changing Program helps both boys and girls:
Understand the physical and emotional changes they experience during puberty, and acknowledge these changes as a normal part of growth and development.
Learn the physiology of their bodies and correct terminology for parts of the reproductive system.
Understand that personal hygiene is each individual’s responsibility.
In addition, the program helps girls:
Understand the menstrual cycle
Understand what to expect during a period.
Learn how to manage periods while continuing with normal activities.
The Always Changing Program is based on national research and consultation with school nurses, health educators, parents, and medical professionals. It has been a trusted resource for 20 years and has been taught to millions of students nationwide. It is provided as a free educational service to our school.
