Prevention Is Primary (PIP) will be taking its program to a whole new level this summer with two of its partner schools.“Extreme PIP,” a day camp opportunity for up to thirty 4th and 5th grade student leaders per session will take place at the South Buffalo Charter School from August 9th-13th and at Alden Intermediate School from August 16th-20th.The week-long experience will prepare the students to be positive forces in their schools starting in the fall.
The camps will take place at the schools from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day.The students will complete leadership and team-building exercises, create team t-shirts, plan projects for the coming school year to encourage healthy behaviors, and rehearse “reader’s theater” plays that will be performed, videotaped, and shown to individual classrooms in September.The plays will discourage alcohol, tobacco and other drug use while promoting healthy choices and set the stage for the rest of the programming that will take place in the months that follow.If successful, “Extreme PIP” will be made available to additional partner schools next summer.
