AKRON - Parents will get a chance to hear one of the state's popular educational speakers.
The Tippecanoe Valley Peers Project is bringing in Keith Deltano, The Teaching Comedian, to speak to middle and high school students and their parents as part of the state-mandated emphasis of sexual abstinence until marriage in the health curriculum. Deltano will speak to students on Dec. 6. He will conduct a workshop for parents on the evening of Dec. 6 at Tippecanoe Valley High School.
Traveling over the United States with his comedy style, Deltano strives to shed some sense on today's tough issues. Not wanting to be interpreted as a typical stand-up comedian, Deltano combines humor, audience interaction, props and facts into action-filled performances.
Each of Deltano's shows deal with various issues such as racism, judging, sexual abstinence until marriage and substance abuse.
On Dec. 6, Deltano will perform his show "Abstinence is Cool" for Tippecanoe Valley's middle and high school students. "Abstinence is Cool" will have youth face the harsh risks of premarital activity. Deltano will take this topic on with candor, humor, stories, energy and facts. His style is wide open, but his presentation remains appropriate for the school setting. He also will equip the students with things to say and do to help them handle the pressures of their peers and today's society.
Deltano also will present his workshop for parents, "Fighting Back: How to pro
mote abstinence in a sex satu
-rated world." This candid
presentation will give parents ways they can help ensure their children remain virgins until marriage.
During the workshop, a drawing will be held to give away a Nintendo Wii. The workshop is free and is offered to all parents. The workshop begins at 7 p.m. Dec. 6 at Tippecanoe Valley High School, 8345 S. Ind. 19, Akron.
