TO CHERI HUNKEMOELLER~ OASN MEMBER FROM SOUTHWEST
Cheri
applied for and has been chosen to host a "Kick Off" assembly to
promote “Smart Moves, Smart Choices” a school-based program for
middle and high school students. The program is a collaboration
between the National Association of School Nurses and PriCara™,
Division of Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The goal
of the program is to educate teens about the serious risks of
abusing prescription medicines, such as those used legitimately
to treat pain.
The program features a video series and Web-based resources
targeted to school nurses, teachers and parents. Called
the.Medic and produced by MacNeil/Lehrer Productions’ the.News,
each video takes a news-based approach and is accompanied by
science and language arts curricula.
A series of assemblies in areas of the country with a high rate
of prescription drug abuse among youths will bring together
students, educators, parents and community members to generate a
dialogue on the issue. There were 4 school nurses chosen to host
these assembles, California, Kansas, Delaware and
KINGS MILLS,
OHIO!!!
The assembly will be this Friday April 18 at 1:43pm.
