Join-a-Team, Not-a-Gang Program (you will e-mail this one)
http://hurricanesports.cstv.com/genrel/101406aaa.html

The Miami-Dade Police Department and the University of Miami join forces.


Oct. 14, 2006

The Miami Dade Police Department kicked off their annual "Join-a-Team, Not-a-Gang program on Tuesday, October 10th. This program is a cooperative effort, which includes Miami Dade Public Schools, the University of Miami Athletic Department, and Florida Power & Light Company.

The program gives out a "Most Improved Student Award". Each hard working student will get a chance to visit a University of Miami football practice, a tour of athletic facilities, and a chance to meet the University of Miami football coaches and student-athletes.

Students are selected by their school and selection is based on improvement in academics, behavior, and attendance. The visits take place once a week and continue through football season. Winners and a D.A.R.E. officer from each school will be visiting the school once a week throughout the football season.

This Saturday, the Miami Dade Police Department will bring about 700 children to the Miami vs. FIU football game as part of the program.

1. Turned Out Bad
Well that last idea turned out very badly. I think the program is a good idea; however, when things like what happened this Saturday I guess you feel sorry for the kids who went to the game. It is sad the kids had to see that. I think some people should ask those kids how they feel about the event. I am interested in what the kids would say.
