Gun Awareness, taught at the fourth grade level to both public and parochial
schools, is a four day class. On three of the days, a Police Officer is in the classroom giving instruction from
the provided booklet. The last class is a parents' night, and usually takes place in the evening. The parents are
told briefly about the class and the importance of keeping guns locked up. The students then perform skits enacting
the message they learned during the class periods, which is "STOP" "Don't Touch" "Leave
the Area" "Tell an Adult."
