The CHOICES program was presented by the LPC Alumni Foundation at the Richland School District on October 27th and 28th. The program was presented to Richland eighth-graders over the course of two hours. The main goal of the Choices program is connecting with the students and showing them there are many things to consider when planning their futures.
Activities are based around the principle of self-discipline; what it means and how to apply it to your life. Each activity shows a different aspect of self-discipline and enforces the concept that self-discipline is the key to success. Students are challenged to make the commitment to stay in school and graduate from high school. The CHOICES Program is a highly participatory classroom seminar, presented by local volunteers in partnership with the Waynesville – St. Robert Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club of Pulaski County. The CHOICES program uses interactive exercises to help students learn the impact of their choices and how to take control of their lives through wise decision-making in different areas of life such as time and money management as well as education.
