Their education promotes No Vaping, No Smoking, and No Nicotine. They also expressed the importance of community involvement.
Working with the Marshall County Health Department they are creating a cargo trailer which will simulate a child’s bedroom showing hiding places for parents and grandparents to look for devices or paraphernalia. The trailer will be a fairs and festivals along with various school events. It was noted that only adults will be allowed to view the interior of the trailer so they don’t help youngsters learn new hiding places.
