When Bridges began at Central Middle School in January of 2005 we knew after a semester there that it would be beneficial to offer this opportunity to all four Kokomo Middle schools. That next year, Casey and Travis split up and we were able to duplicate the program at Bon Air. We dreamed of having Bridges in all four middle schools. Last year, through a grant with the Mayor’s Community-Based Council of Substance Abuse Prevention, we were able to expand into Lafayette Park for 9 weeks in the spring of 2009. This past school year (09-10) our dream was fulfilled as we were at Lafayette Park in the fall and Maple Crest in the spring. It has been a huge blessing to have the opportunity to work with every middle school student in Kokomo. Now when the middle schools consolidate into two next year, we will know all the students in both schools!
