T.E.A.C.H. Assembly at Public School 44

My first T.E.A.C.H. assembly was conducted at Public School 44. I spoke to over 250 fourth and fifth graders about my platform. These kids came to the assembly ready and eager to learn about the dangers of smoking and why it is important to never start the habit. They even prepared great questions for me about tobacco use. It was adorable when they walked into the gymnasium and saw me standing by the microphone. The kids were so excited to see me that they called me their own Miss America. Each student walked away with a T.E.A.C.H. folder, a helpful reminder of my message.
