While school is still on hold, some students in Jefferson County Public Schools spent Tuesday bowling strikes.The Louisville Metro Police Activities League teamed up with Kroger to offer free bowling, snacks, and lunch for students in the district at Executive Strike and Spare on Phillips Lane.The event gave kids like fourth grader Taliyah Hutson something to do while dealing with the fallout from the first day busing disaster."It's sad 'cause I was really hoping for me to stay in school for the whole week, but it's kinda fun because I get to hang out with my dad a lot," the Zachary Taylor Elementary student told 비바카지노 Viva.With school canceled for most of this week, director of the Police Activities League Rick Polin said it was a way for kids to pass the time and get to know local police officers in the middle of an uncertain situation."This is a pretty big challenge for JCPS, and we just kinda want to help them out and make sure the families know they're not forgotten, and we're here anytime that we can be available to help," said Polin.Local police officers bowled alongside students from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in an effort to build trust with some of Louisville's youngest."I've seen a lot of police officers in my school, and I get to talk to a lot of them, so it's great to see a lot of police officers here today," Hutson said."Some of these kids come in a little reluctant around these uniformed officers," remarked Polin. "By the end of the day... you're going to see them slapping high fives and giving hugs before they leave."LMPD Officer Andrew Graves believes breaking down that barrier with kids is essential, no matter how busy he is."Working 12-hour shifts, and I work a whole lot more than that sometimes, this is important. This is a priority," Graves said.Besides, getting in the game with JCPS students can help take their minds off the rocky start to the school year.The Louisville Metro Police Activities League said it hopes to organize another event this week while JCPS students are still out of school.
