Officer Means with the Brownwood Police Department recently came to Latch Key to discuss bullying with first grade through sixth grade. She discussed what bullying is, the consequences of bullying and allowed the children to ask questions.
Founded in 1983, the Pearl Griffin Memorial Latch Key Program is located at 2411 Coggin Avenue in the First Christian Church in Brownwood, Texas. The program serves children (Pre-K through 6th grade) who qualify from low income families to have after school care so that the children are not left home alone. Currently, 80 children are served in Brownwood by Latch Key. First Christian Church donates the classroom space and Howard Payne students help as teachers fulfilling two needs, a low cost staff for Latch Key and a job through the Work Study Program for the HPU students. Latch Key is also a United Way organization.
For more information about the Latch Key program or to make a charitable donation, please contact director Jessica Hardy at 325-646-2138.
