Troy Community Coalition's Incredible Kids:
The Troy Community Coalition recognized 47 children this year at the 14th annual Incredible Kid Recognition.  Adults from the community nominated children between the ages of 5 and 12 who made a positive impact in their school, church, home or community. Nancy Morrison, Executive Director of the Coalition and Officer Gail Jasak from the Troy Police Department presented  each child's accomplishments. Mayor Dane Slater, Superintendent of Troy Schools, Dr. Richard Machesky, State Senator Marty Knollenberg, State Representative Martin Howrylak, Oakland County Commissioner Wade Fleming and Kappy Trott on behalf of her husband Congressman Dave Trott, greeted the children in a reception line. Incredible Kid Recognition was started as a form of prevention to show young people that the community cares about them and wants them to grown up healthy and drug-free.

Tar Wars is a tobacco-free education program for fourth- and fifth-grade students.
