S.A.V.E is a
13 week program currently being taught at
Belleview Elementary by a Sworn Officer to
children in the fifth grade to
prevent or reduce drug abuse and violence
among children and youth. The program is
taught in a classroom setting once a week
for the duration of the school year. During
the S.A.V.E. class, children participate in
class skits demonstrating the six levels of
resolving conflicts. They work in groups to
complete workbooks and participate in class
drawings for S.A.V.E prizes. Before
graduation an essay contest is held and the
first place winner receives a trophy. The
Belleview Police Department has received
positive input regarding the S.A.V.E.
program from parents, teachers and
children. |
