Sixty-Five Kindergarten students at Huxford Elementary School in Huxford, AL were recently honored with a BABESWORLD graduation ceremony to recognize their achievements in completing the BABESWORLD program. The Poarch Band of Creek Indians in Atmore, AL has sponsored this program in the school for the past two decades. BABESWORLD has provided many students with the necessary tools to help them learn to deal with many situations in life that may be the results of addiction to alcohol and other drugs.

The children traveled through the “magic of their minds” to Pudding Heights where they met the BABESWORLD Club members, Buttons & Bows McKitty, Myth Mary, Early Bird, Donovan Dignity, Recovering Reggie, and Rhonda Rabbit. Through the magical stories they discovered a wealth of information to carry with them throughout their lives;
- “I’m Looking Good and Feeling Fine”, teaches the importance of having a good self-image.
- “She made me do it, didn’t she”, teaches how to make good decisions and overcome peer pressure.
- “Accepting the Things I Cannot Change and Changing the Things I Can”, teaches skills in learning to cope with difficult situations that you cannot control.
- “Let’s Play Party”, shows that you do not have to have alcohol and other drugs in order to have fun. You can have more fun just by being yourself.
- “Retreat is not Defeat and Failure is not Final”, teaches that you can overcome your mistakes and failures if you are smart and brave and ask for help.
- “When you don’t know what to do, (Helping Children from Chemically Dependent homes)”, teaches that you are not alone and it is okay to ask for help from someone that you trust.
- “Wrapping Up”, shows you how to use and share the tools and information that you have learned to help others.
As the song says, “BABESWORLD, BABESWORLD what a wonderful place to be!”
