News from Alabama
Montgomery, AL, 2007: When we first came in contact with Bellingrath
Jr. High several years ago, there was a lot of negative news surrounding
the school. The campus was constantly in the media due to fights and
gang related problems. Parents were always upset and threatening to
pull their children out. Most of the students did not like coming to
school because of the bad reputation Bellingrath had developed. That
all changed a few years ago.... Read the
Bellingrath success story!
Oct 2006: Regional YCW training
In October several regional Youth Crime Watch conferences brought together local participants for training and networking. Look for more training in Alabama in the first quarter of 2007. Contact the Expansion Center for more information.
