Smoke Free Facility For A Reason-Protect The Children

Our school facility is a non-smoking environment to allow for a healthy learning environment for our students and staff. More and more information is available on the health problems that even young children develop because of second and third hand cigarette smoke. Respiratory infections, ear infections, asthma, sinus infection and more can be developed by children and adults by being in an environment filled with second and third hand smoke.
