Poison Prevention Event - March 2008
We had gone to an elementary school to teach about 120 first-graders about preventing accidental poisoning from medicines around the house.  March is the national poison prevention month and this event was trying to bring this message home. We taught childrent the easy phone number for Poison Control and how to distinguish between candy and medicines.
