Carleton worked extensively with the Chicago Heart Association developing an Anti-Smoking program called "Do You Mime If I Smoke". He worked with educators and doctors to write a workbook and seven public service announcements designed to pursued young people not to smoke. He used this information and research to develop his own specific program designed to educate young people to the hazards of all illegal drugs and alcohol. Carleton has performed this program for many "RED RIBBON' week programs at schools. The research with the Heart Association has revealed that we must reach children by the sixth grade level. After this age, children have already decided if they will be willing to experiment with drugs and alcohol. |
It is imperative that we expose this issue to children between fourth and sixth grade students. Using your imagination may help you to make important decisions that will effect you the rest of your life. Our drug and alcohol awareness program deals with peer pressure, the effects of drugs on school and other hidden dangers.The school-yard bully situation is also addressed. A special Teacher's Guide Supplement assists with follow up questions for the classroom after our program. We often do two different programs at one school. We will do our mime and imagination program for grades K- 3 and the “Awareness” program for grades 4+. This way every student in the school receives the benefit of a program that is appropriate for them. |
