Hello Cohasset – we are back with an update on the Cohasset Youth Ambassadors recent community outreach activities!

On April 25th, middle school Ambassadors Grant Wilson, Maddie Schultz, Quinn Kearney, Tavin Casey, and Sari Reyes participated in the performance of Samantha Skunk to the kindergarten students at Osgood School. The Samantha Skunk skits serve to engage a younger audience through the repetition of the main message, and brightly-colored costumes, while focusing on presenting a positive message about various health topics to students in grades K-3. During this influential presentation made to the kindergarteners, Samantha Skunk tries medicine that does not belong to her, which causes her beautiful, unique magenta color to change to a sickly green. After the performance, the students were excited to share all they had learned about medicine safety.
