The program has instilled self-discipline as the primary motivating factor toward model student behavior. The goal of Raceland Lower Elementary is to provide a safe and caring environment for all individuals who enter the campus. Raceland Elementary is the model for Kelso s Choice Program, which is now implemented in all LaFourche Parish Schools. Program is administered by the Slidell Police Department and its goal is to educate students about the consequences associated with drinking and driving. Law enforcement officers go to local schools to discuss Louisiana s laws governing narcotics, alcohol use, open containers, seatbelt use and the implied consent law.
Officers give a graphic presentation on the reality of drinking and driving.
Students hear from law enforcement officers, victims, offenders and fire and rescue personnel. The presentation is a sobering experience for students who learn the dangers of drinking and driving. We must remember that law enforcement is not only about badges and sirens. These programs daily contributions are building a better Louisiana, they re building better communities and they re building better kids. It s important that we honor good works and the people that make them happen.
