AIMED AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, THIS FILM DESCRIBES A VANDALISM PREVENTION PROJECT THAT RELIES ON STUDENTS' PRIDE IN THEIR SCHOOL.

Abstract

STUDENTS ARE IMPRESSED WITH THE SLOGAN, 'YOUR SCHOOL BELONGS TO YOU'. THEY TAKE THE INITIATIVE IN PICKING UP SCHOOL GROUNDS AND DISCOURAGING ACTS OF VANDALISM. OTHER PROJECTS, SUCH AS DECORATING WALLS OR PAINTING PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT, ARE ALSO ENCOURAGED. STUDENTS ARE REWARDED DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR WITH BADGES AND EMBLEMS, AND AT THE END OF THE YEAR, A FIELD TRIP IS ORGANIZED WITH MONIES SAVED FROM THE VANDALISM FUND. ONE SCHOOL DISTRICT REPORTED A 50 PERCENT CUT IN VANDALISM AS A RESULT OF PROJECT PRIDE. SEE NCJ-40356 FOR A SHORTER FILM DIRECTED AT THE CHILDREN....PLO
