CANA has begun working with Redevelopment Management Resources (RMR) on the planning process for our “Our Kids are Watching Us” campaign.

We estimate curriculum materials at $200.00 /block X 16 = $3,200.00
Each 6 X 4 ft weather proof sign will be $120.00 each X 16 = $1,920.00
Each large poster will be $5.00 each X 20 per block = 320 poster X $5.00 ea= $1,600

We plan to engage children on every block in our 16 block area to help talk with their families and neighbors about litter and healthy living.
Activities:
- Develop brief curriculum on how litter affects our neighborhood
- Develop curriculm about healthy living choices
- Teach kids to pick up litter in front of their homes and their block
- Collect and analyse garbage on their block
- Create a sign and poster campaign for each block
- Feature faces of children from each block with caption “Our Kids are Watching Us”
- Add ” Respect Our Neighborhood, Respect Ourselves” caption
- Add Please Don’t Litter, Please Make Healthy Choices” caption to Picture of block litter collected
- Add Call-out bubbles to Litter Picture with possible consequences for each piece of garbage
- Create 6 X 4 foot signs for each of our 16 blocks that feature the faces of kids from that block
- Hang 6 X 4 foot signs on the fence of a volunteer home or building, one per block.
- Create smaller posters for the participating children to hand out as they desire.
- Measure impact and refine the campaign
- Open dialog with local schools to bring the campaign to them
