Meet the members of Yerger Middle School Project Prevent Youth Coalition (PPYC). Project Prevent is the statewide youth tobacco prevention coalition in Arkansas. Its members consist of local Chapters across the state that choose to live their lives free from tobacco and nicotine and encourage others to do the same.
PPYC sponsored prevention trivia week during Red Ribbon Week. All Yerger Middle School students were issued an information text, "Forward Feed Magazine." Questions were selected daily, and the first student to submit the correct answers received a prize. Harbor House Inc. of Texarkana, Arkansas, provided magazines free of charge.
