This childhood lead poisoning prevention health education tool is designed for organizations, classrooms or communities that already have a lead education program in place. Lead RUMMYTM resembles a deck of 52 cards in four suits (Lessons, Effects, Actions and Dangers- rather that hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades) that contain questions and answers pertaining to lead poisoning.

Corporate Adopt-a-School Program

The Corporate Adopt-a-School Program is a means for corporations to support today's youth by providing critical environmental health curricula to schools nationwide. Through the Corporate Adopt-a-School Program, a partnership is
formed between a school district, local corporation and the Resource Center of EOHSI. Corporate sponsors are kept informed of all activities throughout the program's implementation.

Corporate sponsors support a comprehensive program that may include: curricular materials, hands-on teacher training, ongoing support by training center staff, field trips, fact sheets, newsletters, a reference library and Internet access. All training initiatives are tailored to meet each district's specific needs.

Our teachers and students have always been extremely interested in the environment. Through the Corporate Adopt-A-School Program, we now have access to new activities and resources to explore our world.

The teachers view the training as an opportunity to expand on their own educational growth process and a chance to establish comaraderie with their peers. Their enthusiasm translated into a heightened appreciation of how their actions affect their world and what each of them can do to help the
environment. Catherine Danchak, Science Coordinator, Nutley Public School System, NJ

This program is a huge success. This is a belief we arrived at from the positive reactions of teachers. By taking an active role, arranging for our own evaluation team to go into the schools, we have seen, first-hand, the impact of this program. We recognize the substance of EOHSI's materials and the
successful structure of its training. Teachers are not alone as they learn about the environment. Larry Mondschein, PhD, Manager of Chemical Information, Johnson & Johnson
