The bell rings. “Ugh,I’m late. Again!” she mutters as she runs to the locker room. Everyone else has already gotten dressed out and ran to the field. She flings herself to the floor and starts dialing her combination. It won’t open. After three tries, she gives up and decides to leave her belongings on the floor in front of her locker.
Practice ends and the team slumps through the door, tired and gasping for air. She walks to her locker and notices that all of her things are missing. Gone. For the next thirty minutes, she searches around for her wallet, phone, keys and iPod. All of which were in her purse that she found ten minutes ago in the corner of the room. Luckily, she’s in the crime-stoppers program at her school.
Crime-stoppers is an organization of students who are interested in righting wrongs and stopping crime. Anyone at anytime can call 691-TIPS, anonymously, and give details of a crime they have witnessed or know of. Any information that leads to the solving of the crime will be rewarded.
Meetings are in room 150, Coach Wallerich’s room, at 7:55 every other Wednesday morning.
Crime-stoppers is big on community service as well as stopping crime. The project they are currently working on is to plant a tree in front of Rider. Along with the planting of the tree, the seniors of crime-stoppers are burying a time capsule. At the senior class of 2010 reunion, the time capsule will be retrieved and opened.
They are also going on a field trip to the Station 8 Firehouse, where they will learn how to use a fire hose and the different ways to put out a fire.
Anyone interested in joining Crime-stoppers must be at 6 of the 10 meetings this semester to attend the firehouse field trip.
