Program RevisionsThree Kids on the Block programs are in the final stages of the revision process. New curriculum guides for the programs on Asthma, Sexual Abuse and Vehicle Safety (originally titled Safety on Wheels: Automobile and Bicycle Safety) will soon be available to KOB associate troupes who have previously purchased the complete programs. Each program will have new script material that provides additional information about the topic, as well as selected original scripts that were rewritten to reflect current information. ...and a SupplementKOB associate troupes who own the Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs (ATOD) program will soon have the opportunity to add a new script and a new puppet character to their existing program. The program supplement contains a new script entitled "Partying Smart," biography information for the featured character Rob Watkins and questions and answers. The supplement focuses on Rob's drinking alcohol as a way to fit in with his friends and how he has now learned to make better choices in his life. Rob's story line will be familiar to those troupes who perform the ATOD program.
