May 14, 2004 |
| The
final school presentation for Brain Awareness Month was held at
St. Vincent Elementary School in Perryville with grades K-8 in
attendance. Dr. Gibbs presented in front of the largest
school crowd of the month, 470 students! This presentation
not only featured discussion, but was also a hands-on experience
for the audience. Students were encouraged to participate in
the presentation, and following the session Dr. Gibbs answered the
students' questions about brain safety, good decision-making and
living a healthy life. The students were shown clips from
both THINK FIRST videos, which fit to all age groups in
attendance. When the presentation ended, all of the students
were given a chance to look at a real human brain and skull.
Students also received a surgical hat and mask, as well as an
informational brain booklet to keep. |
