“This is now the second annual assembly we have held. In the most recent assembly we watched the short animated video of George the Sunsafe Superstar. Two 'sun safe superstar volunteers were then chosen to come to the front and put on sun-hats and capes and answer questions! It was a good way to revisit all the important points from the video. ”
