Preview of "Cherish Your Skin" children's book at First Learning Tree in Rockport

The children at First Learning Tree School in Rockport had a fun visit from Mrs. Rockport-Fulton International 2010. Jenifer Kuykendall read from the children's book which she co-authored with her sister-in law, Amy Kuykendall, entitled "Cherish Your Skin". She also introduced Fun In The Sun 101, a kids program created by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

Teaching the children the importance of sunscreen, the dangers of sunburns, and how to be "Sun Smart" is a fun part of Jenifer's outreach in the community.



Jenifer also made sure each child (and parent) received a goodie bag complete with sunscreen and protective lotion. Teachers were given key information on the ABCDs of Malignant Melanoma and the importance of monthly self checks.


Before leaving the school, Jenifer even had a chance to share her crown with some little princesses!
