Rotarians Asked To Donate
Funds For Elberta Program
By BRIGETTE LOUDERMILK
Editor
In an "effort to break the welfare
cycle" a teen parenting program has
been established at the Elberta Open
Campus High School in Warner
Robins, Ellen Strait told Perry
Rotarians at their regular meeting
Monday, Feb. 28.
Strait said there are currently 30
young mothers enrolled in the pro
gram, wiih six students from Perry
attending.
Strait discussed not only the pro
gram, but appealed to the club for a
monetary donation so that a van
could be purchased to transport sev
eral of the young mothers and chil
dren to the school each day.
Strait said a day care center is set
up at the school to watch the girls'
children during the time they are in
classes.
She also said the program in
Houston County is the third teen
parenting program in the state.
Funds are provided from the state to
set up the program and format and
rules were established by the local
school board.
Four stipulations to the program
are:
•The program must be at Elberta.
•The program is voluntary.
•No family planning counseling is
permitted.
•The student must only have one
child, and must be dismissed from
the program if she becomes preg
nant again.
Strait added that although a
teenager in high school does not
have to drop out if she becomes
pregnant, the teen parenting pro
gram is chosen by many because of
the day care provided.
Strait also said that 95 percent of
the graduates from the program
have "gone on to receive more edu
cation or are employed."
In club business:
Rotarians will gather at Perry
Country Club next Monday for
their annual golf tournament
Lunch begins at noon and a shot
gun start is scheduled for 1 p.m.

are based on curriculum guides ap
proved by the Georgia Department of
Education. Most teachers will find
that the program is closely coordi
nated with their regular curriculum
and that time spent at one of the
camps would not constitute a viola
tion of Standard I 8.2. The program
is in compliance with the Quality
Basic Education Act
“The Outdoor and Environmental
Education Program began at the
Rock Eagle 4-H Center in 1979 and
three other facilities have since been
added at Jekyll Island 4-H Center,
Wahsega 4-H Center near Dahlonega
and Tybee Island 4-H Center near
Savannah, giving Georgia students
an opportunity to experience an out
door curriculum in the four major
geographic regions of the state.
“More than 100,000 students and
teachers have attended sessions at
these four locations."
He added, “I encourage every
Georgia teacher to take advantage of
this exciting and innovative oppor
tunity. The Outdoor and
Environmental Education Program
will prove to be a valuable experi
ence for you and your students.”
The students and teachers are ex

of participating in new classes being
