A few weeks ago, Project KIDS received a special visitor. Officer Desmond White of the Jackson Police Department was kind enough to drop by the Ellen Harris Center. After speaking to the children about being a policeman, Officer White showed rotating groups of students his car. He even let a few turn on the siren. >>>>>For more pictures of Officer White’s visit, click here

The current / October issue of Portico magazine includes a wonderful piece on Operation Shoestring and our 40 years of service to the Bailey Avenue corridor. It includes a great blurb from Projects KIDS alum and NBA point guard, Monta Ellis. Amanda Wells composed the article, and Tom Beck took the photos. We greatly appreciate the flattering consideration of Portico.
