Posted on: Thursday, October 28, 2010

Tabb High School (THS) DECA and their sponsor Christina Majka, were awarded a grant to work on Y-Street's current campaigns and meet their measures of progress. The two campaigns addressed at this school year are “Meltdown” and “Act Out.” “Meltdown” promotes to teens and their parents how tobacco companies are finding loopholes to market their products to users under the age of 18, especially with their new products such as gum, mints, and no-spit chew. The “Act Out” campaign is to encourage youth to get outside and be active. Instead of playing a basketball video game, go to the local court with some friends and really play. Y-Street is a non-profit student activist group that is a grant system through the Virginia Department of Health.
