“HANDS ARE FOR HELPING NOT HITTING”
Using the book authored by Martine Agassi to illustrate this simple but important message, that they have the power to choose not to hurt people. The program offers youngsters an alternative to hitting and other forms of hurtful behavior while teaching the children all of the wonderful and fun things our hands do for us. At the end of each program, the children took a pledge to use their hands for helping not hitting and each received a certificate with the image of their hand as a reminder to use their hands for helping. The program was presented by students who are part of the Seasons of Service organization under team leaders Katie Greenman and Gabbie Hernandez. Team members were: Allison Cranmer, Pawee Sae-Chua, Justin Hewe, Ashley Evenrud, Marcy Crowley, and Alisha Anisko. The program was presented in seven preschools to 142 children and teachers. |
The Domestic Abuse Shelter’s Children Program, along with Marathon High School students presented a special program in the county preschools during the month of June. The program was titled “Hands are for helping not hitting”.
