Junior Achievement Appreciates LPSO Volunteers

Dear Sheriff Neustrom,

Junior Achievement of Acadiana gratefully acknowledges the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office's generous support of economic education programs at Ernest Gallet Elementary School. Last year the departure of Ocean Energy employees greatly impacted the number of volunteers who supported the program at Gallet. Fortunately, when we called upon Donna Delahoussaye she responded by helping to recruit volunteers from the Sheriff's Office... Junior Achievement applauds the efforts of the staff at the Sheriff's Office for taking an active approach to forming a powerful partnership that enriches the educational experience for the students at Ernest Gallet and other schools in the parish.

Sincerely, Michele Boustany, Education Manager

LPSO Announces a New Partnership to Benefit Day Reporting Program

Wednesday, May 19, 2004

Sheriff Michael W. Neustrom and the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office are proud to announce a partnership with the Acadiana Arts Council, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and the Lafayette Consolidated Government in providing continuing education for participants in the Sheriff's Office Day Reporting Program. (Day Reporting is a court-ordered program in which individuals are allowed to remain in society as long as they continue to be closely monitored.)

“Back Beat" is a new program available to Day Reporting participants (and their families) which will allow them to learn the art of Percussion Music. Through a grant from the Acadiana Arts Council and Lafayette Consolidated Government, drums and two instructors from UL at Lafayette will be provided. The first session of classes will begin on May 19, 2004 and will conclude on June 10th with a performance.
