All sixth grade students in Cherokee County will participate in the CHOICE program on November 2, 2011. The program is held at the Gadsden State Cherokee Community College under the direction of the Cherokee County School Counselors. The students will have the opportunity to tour the Choice Bus. The Choice Bus is a tool created by the Mattie C. Stewart Foundation for the purpose of extending the learning experience of the InsideOut documentary outside the classroom and keeping students on the road to a good education. This experience-based learning tool contains a “real” jail cell connected to an interactive learning environment. In addition, students will have the opportunity to hear various speakers addressing important issues such as drug and alcohol prevention programs, antibullying programs, dropout prevention programs, and other programs relevant to the preteen student.

Parents are encouraged to follow up with their child at home by discussing these topics. For more information, including a list of objectives, please see How The Bus Works at the Mattie C. Stewart Foundation website.
