After several organizational meetings PASS has a plan of action that we believe can make an immediate impact on school climate at the Roseville Area Middle School. We want to recruit you and other community volunteers to help improve school climate by attending the school corridors and grounds. PASS wants to recruit adults, especially senior men, who can spend time walking, talking and encouraging kids on the school campus. Young teens are often isolated and segregated from adults at the time when they need people the most. Growing numbers are growing up without a father at home. There are over 1,500 youngsters who need the attention and presence of adults during their school day. They need us - now. Several community organizations have expressed an interest in helping recruit from their volunteer base. To date, both the Roseville Masonic Center and the Roseville Area Retired Educators Association have invited Teri Graham to present at their executive meetings. Other groups are being contacted. In the meantime, we need to begin registering individuals willing to serve our children. We will be coordinating the program in conjunction with the Middle School. Next week a member of the PASS Steering Committee will give you a call. We would like to assess your interest in the corridor project, as well as your general interest in PASS. We will ask you the following: • Would you be willing to spend time with kids in the Middle School ? • Do you want to be a member of Parent Action for Safe Schools? (Members are notified of the general meetings and sent Steering Committee minutes.) See minutes from 01/11/96 on the back of this memo. Thanks. Page 1
