This week, we completed our education presentations on the Dangers of Smoking and Va**ng with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students at Rock Hill Elementary.

Around 282 students were educated and received an activity book along with their “Proud to Be V**e Free” t-shirt! Here’s Jayse, a 5th grader, proudly showing his shirt.

Thank you to Rock Hill Elementary for welcoming us and helping students understand just how harmful va**ng can be.
