Harold the Giraffe of I-KAN’s Life Education Center programming is stepping into classrooms around Iroquois County this school year to teach a substance abuse prevention program. This program teaches students in kindergarten through sixth grade how the human body works and the skills needed to deal with pressures from peers and society. Students will learn the importance of choosing a healthy lifestyle and avoiding the dangers caused by abusing alcohol and other dangerous substances. (This prevention initiative is made possible through a partnership between the Juvenile Justice Council of Iroquois County, I-KAN’s LEC, and the Pledge for Life Partnership.)
