The DeKalb County 4-H Health Rocks Teen group has been busy during National Kick Butts Day. National Kick Butts Day is a national day of activism that empowers youth to stand out, speak up, and seize control against tobacco.

Kick Butts Day was on March 15, 2017. Four high school students taught the “Take a Deep Breath” lesson with approximately 300 sixth grade students at the Middle School.This is a fun “hands on” activity that helps students realize the negative effects that smoking can have on the lungs, especially the ability to breathe well.
