P.R.I.D.E. (Police Reinforcing Important Decisions and Education) Camp was a great success this summer. This 2 week program is designed to incorporate a fun learning environment while building social and leadership skills. The 40 students were chosen from the 6th Grade D.A.R.E. program. They were chosen for their excellent class participation, positive attitudes and overall good behavior. D.A.R.E. Officer Blanc and SRO Letta took the kids on several day trips including Nick-a-Jack Farms, North Industry Sportsman Club, and Clearwater Park. We also did some community service at the Stark County Humane Society and collected items for Perry Helping Perry. Students were challenged with many team building activities such as games and a skit. 13 of the kids went home with a Kindle Fire Tablet! A big thank you goes out to Perry Township Police Department and all the local businesses that contributed to this program. We couldn't have done it without you!
