My name is Kip Jones and I was born in Griffin, Georgia but grew up in good ole' East Tennessee for most of my life. I love my job as a school counselor at AIS! These kids are awesome! I have been in education for over 20 years and love trying to help young people find a way to work through problems they face in life. Also to give them the confidence to succeed in reaching their full potential. I also write children's books to help teach life skills and have a book series which includes activity guides that are published nationwide with Boystown Press in Nebraska.

Willie Bohanon and Friends (Drug Awareness) "Original"
Willie is smart enough to know that drugs will get him nowhere fast. It is something he knows that will hold him back from reaching his goals. Derf, however, is dealing with a problem that many kids face today. Parents or family members who are addicted to drugs or alcohol. He is now being tempted by others to try some "pills" that will help him forget about his problems. Willie will not let this happen, so he tells Mr. J about the situation. . . . . . I just hope it's not too late!
