This Wednesday, over 200 students in Manchester, KY will be among the first to view our Tobacco Abuse Prevention Program. This program is one of two brand new show topics introduced this fall. As tobacco abuse remains a widespread issue in the state, our program aims to reduce the number of children involved with tobacco. The 30 minute program identifies the different types of tobacco products and the harmful effects the substance has on the body. Like our other programs, the Tobacco Abuse Prevention Program features a question and answer session in which children in the audience are free to relay any comments and concerns to the star puppets of the program.
Locally, the program is supported by The Medical Center. Also, Kids on the Block has partnered with the Smoke Free Communities Coalition of Bowling Green. This partnership offers us handouts and activities for audience members along with opportunities to deliver our programs at local special events free-of-charge.
The Tobacco Abuse Prevention Program debuts locally on Tuesday, November 12 2009 at 7:30 AM for the 6th graders at Bristow Elementary.
For more information on the program and how to view or schedule, call (270) 842-2259.
