Students Working Against Tobacco in DeSoto County Celebrate a Year of Success
April 24, 2024
In order to recognize our efforts to educate and prevent tobacco use and social norms within our community, Tobacco Free Partnership Members and Students Working Against Tobacco Youth gathered on April 22, 2024, to carry out our Remake Learning Day and celebrate a year of prevention work. In addition to celebrating a year of hard work, a special club and advisor were acknowledged for their outstanding contribution towards a tobacco free future in DeSoto County.
Nocatee SWAT Club was recognized as our 23-23 SWAT Club of the Year. Their leadership and willingness to help has been invaluable. They have put in countless hours of volunteer work and have shown an outstanding dedication towards creating a tobacco-free future. They helped plan a school wide campaign in honor of Not a Lab Rat and Kick Butts Day. They volunteered at various community events throughout the school year as well. Rene Barnard was their SWAT Advisor and with her creative genius their club thrived during the 2023-2024 year.
We would like to extend our deepest thanks to the Nocatee SWAT Club and Rene Barnard! We sincerely appreciate your hard work and dedication to the Tobacco-Free Partnership of DeSoto County and DeSoto County SWAT Chapter.
