Local schools speaking against tobacco use
HUNTINGTON — A number of area schools will be participating in Kick Butts Day on April 2, a national day of activism that empowers youth to speak up and take action against tobacco use.
At Vinson Middle School in Wayne County, the school is borrowing 1,200 pairs of shoes for a visual exhibit. The 1,200 represents the amount of people nationwide who die each day from a tobacco-related illness.
To donate a pair of shoes, write your name in a piece of tape and stick it in the shoes.
In Lawrence County, Ohio, four schools are hosting Guitar Hero tournaments for tobacco awareness. From 3-6 p.m., tournaments will be held at Ironton Middle (April 1), Rock Hill Middle (April 2), Chesapeake Middle (April 3) and Dawson-Bryant High School (April 4).
Prizes will be awarded to the winners of each level, and anti-tobacco information will be available as well.
