Mount Pleasant Knights
Against Tobacco / Kick Butts Generation is an organization dedicated to
teenage tobacco usage prevention. Our fourth year in practice, we
have acquired over $30,000 in state grant money provided by the Delaware
Division of Public Health. Our work was featured on I-95,
where our anti-tobacco billboard featured senior Mount Pleasant football
players. After our "Smelly Feet" poster appeared on the cover of
the National Association of School Nurses newsletter, we received
requests from all over the country for the poster. |

The ALL 4 ONE Hip Hop group was formed this
year to promote the anti-tobacco message along with other members of the
Knights Against Tobacco group. Singer/Songwriter, Mike Black, member of
the Class of 2006, agreed to lead the group and recruited 3 talented
singers and song writers. Sophomore Pride Harris, Junior Brandon
Hamilton, Freshman Travon Wooten and Lead M. C. Black are ready to
spread the message with music. They want youth to know that using
tobacco is not okay. Most teens don't use tobacco. The first performance
for 6th graders at P. S. DuPont Elementary was a success. Performances
are scheduled at Forward , Maple Lane, Brandywood, Mt. Pleasant
Elementary, Lombardy, Hanby Middle School and Talley Middle School. This
project is made possible by a grant from the Division of Public Health's
Community Contract. Funding for the grant is provided by the Delaware
Health Fund and managed by the American Lung Association of Delaware.
