CARING donated

enough videos for every middle and high school in the district. Health,

English or social studies teachers can use the program, which comes with

a flexible teaching guide. The video can be used in a variety of ways

to fit into lesson plans that address marketing issues, advertising gimmicks,

health facts and the due process of litigation surrounding the use of

tobacco.

"The Fayette

County School System is very appreciative to CARING for these videos,"

said Larry Reeves, director of pupil personnel services for the school

system. "It is important that we provide our students with the most

up-to-date information concerning health issues. These videos will be

very valuable in our high and middle schools as we present factual information

concerning this timely topic."

Jill Holmes

Long, vice chairman of CARING, presented the videotapes to the board of

education during its regular meeting recently.

"CARING

is happy to be working in conjunction with the school district to assist

in materials compatible with the established curriculum and practices

of the district," said Long. "Our students need accurate and

timely information regarding the nature of tobacco, nicotine addiction,

related illnesses and the effects of advertising in their lives.

"This

video will assist teachers with data concerning tobacco issues as well

as up-to-date information surrounding the tobacco settlement monies,"

she added.
