STICKS AND STONESWe are sad to report that after 8 wonderful years we have retired our Sticks and Stones program. HOWEVER, our original program, Junk 2 Funk, is still going strong! Junk 2 Funk incorporates many of the same positive messages that Sticks and Stones once did such as the importance of being kind to our fellow human beings and to our amazing planet Earth. You can learn more about Junk 2 Funk here.
