SWIJDC SCROLL SAW PROJECT!    

In April, 2002, under the creative genius and direction of Teacher Glenn Diers, the SWIJDC Scroll Saw Project was born.   

Juveniles who have shown outstanding behavior and submit a signed permission slip are allowed to participate in the project.  Glenn and Marilee Davis have loaned the Center scroll saws and have taught safety classes to the juveniles.  The kids then can pick out a pattern or two and cut away.  

We believe that the time that a juvenile spends in detention should be as productive as possible, helping to teach needed skills and competencies to make it as a productive citizen "on the outs."  The Scroll Saw Project helps.  

Also, to teach some accountability and give something back to society, 25 puzzles are headed to a local first grade class, and more will be donated to the Idaho Juvenile Justice Association to be used as raffle prizes at their annual conference.  

The project was featured in the September 10, 2002 edition of the Idaho Press Tribune.  To see the article, please click here.

We hated to see Glen move down to Oklahoma, but we wish him well. The Scroll Saw Project is not running at this time.
