Dear FHUHS Families,
We wanted to let you know that this coming Thursday, February 3, we will be having a school-wide presentation by Chris Herren.
Chris Herren was an extraordinary basketball player, star of his Fall River, Massachusetts high school basketball team. Chris played at Boston College and Fresno State and two seasons in the NBA- including one with his home team The Boston Celtics- and seven seasons overseas before losing it all to the disease of addiction.
In the upcoming presentation at Fair Haven Union High School, Chris will share his recovery journey. The event will begin with a 5 minute film introducing Herren and showing highlights of his basketball career and his dream to play in the NBA which began to unravel by making a few bad decisions. He’ll take us on his journey from addiction to sobriety. He will also relate his story by addressing themes of gateway drugs, prescription drug use, vaping and the responsibility of prevention starting with ALL of us.
Last year we dedicated an afternoon to showing his documentary, The First Day. The students’ response was that the film was very effective and thought provoking. Because the school event is for the students, we wanted to offer you an opportunity to view the documentary. This way you will be able to see/hear Chris’ story. It’s powerful, positive, and has a wonderful message. We are offering a virtual showing of the documentary using the provided link: https://bit.ly/3HcIjXl
One last bit of information- while the hope is that all students would be able to attend in person in the FHU gym, because of COVID, there are virtual options in classrooms. If you do NOT want your child(ren) to listen to Chris’s story, choosing to OPT out for alternative activities is possible.
We are very excited about this opportunity and hope you have the chance to view The First Day. Please contact Melissa Hoyer, SAP Counselor, Mrs. Leathe, Assistant Principal, or Mr. Worthing, Principal, if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you!
