CONGRATULATIONS 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.
