The City of La Porte and the La Porte I.S.D. were recently recognized by the Texas Recreation and Parks Society (TRAPS) with an Excellence in Programming award. This award was presented on February 4, 1994 at the T.R.A.P.S. Regional Conference in Baytown, Texas. In May of 1992, the La Porte Parks and Recreation Department was approached by Mr. John Still, Principal, and Ms. Gail Guillot, Fifth Grade Teacher, from the La Porte Elementary school with the idea of an Extended Learning Program. This program is made available to all interested students in the district. Teachers, administrators, and Parks & Recreation staff work together to tutor and mentor students at the City of La Porte's recreation centers. This program began with one site, the Jennie Riley Center; but, has met with such success it has been expanded to include the Evelyn Kennedy Center. We recognize and appreciate the fact that any community's success depends on cooperation of all business, industrial, and tax based services working together towards a common goal. Through this program, such a success has been achieved and we commend those who were instrumental in the successful development and maintenance of the Extended Learning Program. Tonight we recognize Mr. John Still and Ms. Gail Guillot of the La Porte Independent School District and Ms. Marian Scott of the City of La Porte Parks & Recreation Department. Thank you for your efforts! r~s, G~ ; ( G,~; i ~d f was ~<<< ~ d ~<<~ ~~ ~~,~,..~ ~.~ ~e..(nti~e~~'N~ -
