Crime Watch is having its Annual Halloween Candy Bag fundraiser from October 30th till November 2. Bag prices will be small bags for $1, medium bags for $3, and large bags for $5.   

Every year for black history month, Crime Watch Club takes a field trip to visit The Historic Black Police Precinct Courthouse and Museum in Miami. This museum’s mission is to acquire, preserve, display, and promote collections of a historical nature that will be of educational value to the preservation of African American history as it relates to the struggles and accomplishments of Black Police Officers in Overtown area, as they served during the pre-Civil Rights era of the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s. This museum is a full-service facility. It displays police memorabilia, artifacts, documents, video, and word-of-mouth stories by the men and women who worked there. It provides a community center for its citizens, a tutorial center, and learning center for children in the City of Miami’s most underprivileged neighborhoods. It created outreach programs for juveniles that live in these neighborhoods. The museum partners with community organizations in the area and develop crime prevention programs, all of which enhance the quality of life for children and families, making our community a better place to live. Also, Crime Watch club members are treated to Breakfast at Iconic Cuban restaurant Versailles and Lunch at Downtown Bayside.  

Red Ribbon Week is October 23 thru the 31st. Join Crime Watch club after school on October 19, to sign the 2023 Red Ribbon Youth Pledge and to color some fun project sheets to display around the school.
