García-Leza EC/PK Center Students Learn They Are Too Cool to Smoke

Disponible en: Español

Students at García-Leza EC/PK Center enjoyed a puppet show sponsored by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. The “Too Cool to Smoke” puppet show informed the young students about the dangers of tobacco. The puppet show places two lead characters, 14-year-olds Joanne Spinoza and Eric Van Aart, in the food court at a local mall. When Joanne is bothered by cigarette smoke from a nearby smoker, it starts a discussion with her friend Eric about the negative effects of tobacco. The performance included a question-and- answer period during which members of the audience asked questions directly to the puppet characters, who address some common myths and misunderstandings about tobacco use.

Below are some additional images from the event.
