Harley Rinehart, Winner of Violence Prevention Essay Contest, with Dayton Prosecuting Attorney Matt Heck

Awards Ceremony was held on Wednesday, May 16, 2012.

The Kids In New Directions program is proud to have a winner within the top 10 for The 22nd Annual Violence Prevention (VPP). Harley Rinehart was recognized on May 16, 2012 for her essay “Don’t Be a Bully.” Dayton’s Prosecuting Attorney Mathias H. Heck, Jr. presented the awards at the Masonic Temple of Dayton. This year, the VPP received more than 2000 entries from students representing 26 schools in Montgomery County. During the ceremony they acknowledged the top winners.

The Violence Prevention Project began in 1990 to offer information about alternatives to violence as a means to solving problems. The close connection between violence and the use of illegal drugs soon led to a discussion about alternatives to drugs as well as violent behavior and bullying. And, with the increased access to electronic technology it was necessary to include the subject of internet safety. The education programs and this contest have been used to encourage members of our community, particularly our youth, to promote positive behavior.

The posters and essays they received during this year’s contest prove that the youth are aware of the problems that exist and have messages to share. Hopefully, these messages will promote others to consider peaceful resolutions to problems.

Congratulations, Harley Rinehart, for a job well done!

We offer the children homework help, specialized tutoring, woodcarving, crafts, games, Bible study and life skills classes. The winter session we will be adding nutrition, health and exercise classes this session.

After their educational activities, the children are divided into age and skill level for group activities. These may include art projects, games, character lessons, reading time, Bible lessons, computers, and exercise. Before the children are transported home, KIND volunteers provide a nutritious meal, which is served family-style with staff and volunteers.

Our winter session will introduce a complete health and fitness program focusing on the  physical, emotional and spiritual health of our kids. All Kids Can Learn tutoring service, Boonshoft Exhibits to go, the S.M.A.R.T. (science and math attracting ready talent) cooking program along with the Ohio State EFNEP (Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program) are just a few of the opportunities that we will offer our children as part of our commitment to giving opportunities to the children of east Dayton.

With everything we do for the kids it is the love, kindness and open ears and hearts for these young ones who we care about and for them all so very much.
