BGH Poison Prevention Program Educates LPOSD Elementary Students.
By: Kristin Carlson. When Mrs. Lavigne’s Kindergarten class at Washington Elementary was asked, “Can anyone tell me what a poison is?” You could see their minds at work. Slowly, a little hand went in the air, “A snake bite?” Soon after, similar responses followed about what is considered poison.
The question served as an icebreaker to a Poison Prevention Community Outreach Program hosted by the Bonner General Health Pharmacy to educate children in grades K-2 about everyday household items that could be dangerous and what to do if they encounter them.
