To Monroe County Sheriffs Department, Richard Roth, Sheriff:
First, let me thank you for taking the time to hear our request. The Key West High
School Women's Basketball Team is writing to ask for your support. The team has a
great many vital needs this season and is reaching out to the community for help in
fulfilling these necessities.
This season's schedule includes six home games, each of which we intend to win. To
sanction a game, the Florida High School Athletic Association has specific requirements
of home teams relative to the provision of officials to preside over Junior Varsity and
Varsity games, Each Junior Varsity game requires two officials, at a charge of $80 per
official, per game; each Varsity game requires three officials, at a charge of $100 per
.. official, per game.
We are asking the Monroe County Sheriffs Department ifthey would be able to extend
t ,. ---enerosity to the Women's Basketball Team and help with the cost of satisfying the
FHSA ' s mandate on officials; the total cost to the team for the 2006 - 2007 campaign is
$2,760 We were hoping to obtain any funding the Monroe County Sheriff's Department
caul muster for the kids on the team,
In return for your generosity, the team would acknowledge the MCSO's support of the
team at the beginning and halftime PA announcements during each home game. We
would also love to honor the MCSO with a banner in the "Bobby Menendez
Gymnasium". We would also recognize the MCSD by offering free admission to every
home Women's Basketball game to deputies and acknowledge December 111h, against
our rivals at Marathon, as "Monroe County Sheriff's Department Night",
Thank you for your time and your commitment to the children and community of Key
West; we hope to see you at the first home match.

Sheriff Richard D. "Rick" Roth
5525 College Road
Key West, FL 33040-4307
Dear Sheriff Roth,
Children are facing a variety of issues at school today, which few are prepared
for. They are experiencing violence, racial tension, social anxieties, and self-
esteem difficulties. It is our duty as educators to equip them with the
leadership skills necessary to face these obstacles.
The Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches, Inc. mission is to prevent juvenile
delinquency and develop lawful, productive citizens through a broad range of
family-centered services. This is accomplished through a school based
program called Project Harmony. This program was initially set in motion in
1993 through a collaborative pilot, which partnered Volusia County Schools,
Stetson University, Volusia County Police Athletic League and the Florida
Sheriffs Youth Ranches, Inc. Since that initial pilot program, over 15,000
middle school students in various counties have gained skills in leadership,
conflict resolution, diversity, and good communication.
The past three years we have provided two weeks of Project Harmony to
Horace OBryant Middle School students. This year the Florida Sheriffs Youth
Ranches has funding for only one week of girls from the school. An additional
week of funding is $7500, which would provide transportation to and from
camp, as well as an entire week of Project Harmony for 40 boys from the
middle school. We would like to request the Sheriff office to provide this
funding for the students.
I invite you to review the attached overview of Project Hannony. Please call
(352) 447-2259 for more information or to schedule a consultation. Thank r - J d.."

PROJECT HARMONY
Introduction to Project Harmony
Welcome to Project Harmony!
Project Harmony is an innovative program aimed at building and
strengthening leadership qualities among middle school students. It is a
collaboration of the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches, Inc. and various
other agencies throughout the State of Florida. Our partners in this
effort include Stetson University, county school systems, county Sheriffs
offices, universities and other schools of higher education, police athletic
leagues, county governments, and concemed citizens groups.
Project Harmony is a one-week intensive leadership workshop,
specifically designed to meet the challenges of middle school students.
Project Harmony's main focus is to develop a higher understanding of
cultural differences between individuals so that conflict can be resolved
in a positive way. Project Harmony aims to expand and build upon the
leadership potential within each of the participants. Project Harmony
provides students with the skills necessary to become constructive
members of their schools and communities by role modeling positive
behavior and actively participating in community affairs.
General Overview
Project Harmony originated at Deland Middle School in Volusia County,
Florida. The beginning of this program was in response to growing racial
conflicts occurring on campus. Since its inception, Project Harmony has
grown to serve over 2,000 middle school students per year at the two
facilities currently operating this unique program. These are the Florida
Sheriffs Youth Camp located in Barberville, Florida, and the Florida
Sheriffs Caruth Camp located in Inglis, Florida. Both facilities can
accommodate up to 40 participants each week. As a direct result of this
growth, the collaborative partnerships continue to grow and serve more
boys and girls each year.
Project Harmony has also expanded to meet the growing needs of the
participants. Violence prevention, conflict resolution, cultural awareness
and tolerance, and sensitivity training remain key components of the
program. Leadership training through low and high ropes elements,
environmental education and recreational activities also playa major role
in developing strong leaders. These various workshops are enhanced by
traditional educational classes, which ensure the students maintain their
academic class-work necessary for grade achievement. Additionally, all
students participating receive a Project Harmony workbook designed to
Page 1 of 3
assist each participant in their learning of the materials. This workbook
is designed in the FCAT testing modalities to further enhance each
participanfs academic success.
Goals and Objectives
Project Harmony focuses on three primary goals to help achieve unity
and appreciate awareness and tolerance:
1. To provide the skills necessary to lead others by role modeling positive
leadership skills. The message of Project Harmony is delivered
through community service projects, group and individual
discussions, peer mediation, teen court, and other activities that
promote students dealing with students in problem related areas.
2. To create a higher level of understanding and acceptance of others.
Achievement of this goal will be evident in schools and communities
through a reduction of negative incidents.
3. To attain a higher level of self-esteem. Through self-confidence, trust,
and teamwork, the positive interaction of culturally and socio-
economically diverse groups will increase. This positive interaction
result in reduced student referrals and improved student productivity.
The objectives of Project Harmony include:
1. Bringing out full leadership potential while creating within each
participant a higher level of self-esteem, self-confidence, and trust in
others.
2. Providing students with the necessary skills to become positive
leaders within their schools and communities.
3. Providing positive experiences, which include cultural awareness and
tolerance, team building and challenge actives, conflict resolution
programming, educational and recreational activities to enhance
leadership skills.
4. Creating within the participants a desire to leam, understand, and
accept others through a basis of factual information and not
stereotype portrayals.
By striving for these goals and objectives, we can bring about a
consensus of harmony within our schools, communities, and most
importantly within ourselves.
