Show r' IT j J.lr. I The 20-minute play, "Nellie No No," is only one of several methods of getting the word out to children of the dangers of some househojd products. Sponsored by the Davis County Medical Society Auxiliary, the program is presented to elementary students. 'Nellie $o No' teaches children dangers of household products By CHERIE HUBER When "Nellie No No" and her friends visit a school, the children and teachers leave the presentation remembering the catchy tunes... At the same time the children have learned some important lessons. The twenty minute play called "Nellie No No and Her Friends" teaches kindergarten and first grade children that many household house-hold products can be very dangerous danger-ous to touch or taste, even though they come in attractive and interesting in-teresting packages. The cast which includes Valva Shields, Carolyn Affleck, Virginia Taylor, Cindi Heiny, Norene Wray, Bethine Bemhisel and Char-maigne Char-maigne Halverson have volunteered volun-teered over 450 hours to introduce Nellie No No to every elementary school in Davis County and to distribute dis-tribute workbooks. The Head Start Program in Clearfield and the Monte Vista Center in Farmington have also had a visit from Nellie No No. The program is an effort by the members of the Davis County Medical Society Auxiliary to educate edu-cate all young people about the potential hazards of many common household products. Lakeview Hospital in Bountiful and Humana Hospital Davis North in Layton have donated funds to allow the presentation to be professionally profes-sionally videotaped. A copy of the video tape and copies of workbooks work-books have now been donated to each elementary school in Davis County as well as The Head Start Program and Monte Vista. The Auxiliary members have also distributed copies of "Is She Sick" to parents of kindergarten and first grade students. The pamphlet pam-phlet can help parents decide if a child is well enough to attend school. The pamphlet is sponsored by both Lakeview and Humana Davis North Hospitals. |
