New club sends positive message to youngsters Showing kids that they can be successful in school, in life, and with their friends without the crutch of drugs or alcohol became the crusade of the newly-formed Kids Saving Kids organization. Through programs that in- cluded skits and factual pre- sentations, they delivered their message about the ha- zards of substance abuse to Coppell fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-graders. Success of the group was NEW COMERS evident from the positive feedback from teachers, par- ents, and the kids themselves, according to the organiza- tion's sponsor, Mrs. Eileen Keahey. I wish that all of our stu- dents could see the presenta- tions that the group puts on, said Mrs. Keahey. I think they would be really im- pressed with the work of those involved in the pro- gram. I wanted to be a part of this group so that in future years alcohol and drugs wonlt be as large as problem as it is now in high school, ex- plained sophomore Nancy Barton. I just wanted to help save younger generations. Superintendent David Stanfield, who learned about the program's success in oth- er schools throughout the country, initiated Kids Saving Kids at Coppell High School.
