Student Assemblies

Early in the school year, the STAT program is introduced to the students in an assembly. The agenda includes an explanation of the STAT programs three phases, a guest speaker to share his/her life story as a result of tobacco use, and a discussion of the health risks of smokeless tobacco with the presentation of an oral(mouth) cancer slide show.

Classroom Visits

Classroom visits, A pair of volunteers presents the STAT curriculum to a classroom of seventh graders. In this interactive session, the students are exposed to issues such as the health risks of tobacco use, peer pressure, tobacco advertising, and quitting tobacco. Click on "create you own program" (or whatever link to the manual) to view the full STAT curriculum.

Annual Student Contests

STAT gets the students involved in a community wide contest. The students have a chance to be creative and illustrate what they have learned about tobacco use. Each school year, the students have been asked to create tobacco prevention or cessation posters.
