Friday Night Lights is a program that allows the students of our school district to have a safe and inviting place to spend their Friday nights. We offer dinner, basketball, swimming, games and art activities. All students from 5th grade to 12th grade are invited to participate.
The school district is located in a high crime and impoverished city.
In order to keep our children safe we created this program to keep them off the streets and SAFE. The Friday Night Lights program started in May of 2019 and continued through the summer months.
My Project
Friday Night Lights is a school and community based initiative to give our students a safe and welcoming place to spend their Friday nights. Too many of our children are exposed to drugs, violence and crime and we have created an alternative to the streets.
We provide a safe place to be a kid.
As teachers and community members we want our children to stay of the streets and be part of this exciting program. Our program was inspired by a Newark, NJ administrator. The purpose is simple. By working together we can keep our youth off the streets and build lasting relationships with our children and their families.
