General Information:
"Super Stars" is a comprehensive prevention program for elementary-age, at-risk children. These children live in an environment that is notably poor in economic resources while high in alcohol and drug abuse. Most are from single parent homes in which the parent (mother in most cases) was either a teen parent or a high school drop out or both. The "Super Stars" program strives to expose these children to positive, alternative life-choices, with a variety of activities . . . field trips, guest speakers, tutoring help and involvement in community projects. Participation by the children's parent(s) is encouraged, as well as participation by businesses and organizations from within our community - including law enforcement, civic and fraternal organizations, the recreation department, school systems, public, private and colleges/universities and churches. The goal of the "Super Stars" program is to expose these children to as many resources as possible - resources that will enable them to pursue a life that does not involve substance abuse and its related ills. Our success with the "Super Stars" arises from our expectations - we expect the children to be responsible . . . we recognize that achievement, and we involve our community in acknowledging the efforts each child is making.
