<br />EXCURSION ADMISSION FEES <br /> <br />Admission fees are covered by grant funds because of the participants' lack of financial <br />resources and are based on the lead agency's experience in conducting excursions on a consistent <br />basis for all of its regular programs. Excursions are offered as incentives and as recognition and <br />reward for accomplishments. Educational excursions will complement the academic activities <br />and cultural arts instruction and are intended to enable students to further accomplish their goals <br />and objectives as well as to provide enjoyable activities with their peers and family in stress-fTee <br />and fun environments. <br /> <br />AWARDS <br /> <br />The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in its Guide for Implementing the Comprehensive <br />Strategy For Serious, Violent and Chronic Juvenile Offenders recognizes that most prevention <br />efforts have been unsuccessful because oftheir negative approach. DOJ promotes strategies that <br />the lead agency has incorporated for many years, including providing positive opportunities for <br />health social, physical, and mental development and a high level of recognition in fTont of peers <br />and family members for participants' accomplishments. Awards are a big part of all lead agency <br />activities and are incorporated in the proposed program for the accomplishment of each <br />benchmark. The awards serve to give the students something tangible, which they can look at to <br />remind themselves oftheir abilities and achievement. Awards are purchased through the city's <br />approved vendor and may include trophies, plaques, framed certificates, medals, etc. <br /> <br />T-SHIRTS <br /> <br />T.shirts imprinted with the program logo or other identifying insignia is an inexpensive way to <br />give program participants a sense of belonging to a positive peer group. T-Shirts will be <br />provided at no cost to program participants again because of the low economic standing. They <br />will be used in the Mentor program and Family PRIDE Clubs. The SAPD Officers will also <br />wear program T-shirts when they meet with their teen groups to establish rapport, which will <br />lead to increased bonding and a strong, positive relationship. <br /> <br />EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES <br /> <br />Although the McFadden Education and Technology Center currently has a large library of hard- <br />cover books and educational software programs, new materials that are suitable to accomplish <br />the individual goals and objectives of each program participant will need to be identified and <br />purchased. These items may include workbooks that are either photocopied or given to the <br />students to complete their work in, software, notebooks, school paper, magazines, newspapers, <br />and other academic oriented supplies as needed. Supplies will also include paint, brushes, <br />costume supplies, stage production supplies, and other materials for the cultural art classes, and <br />will depend on the art venue that is selected for each group of students. Also, parent workbooks <br />are provide to parents in the parent education workshops, including all ofthe workshop materials <br />and other resources that parents may need to reinforce the concepts taught in the workshops. <br />
