APPLE VALLEY • After two-and-a-half months of conquering vigorous military drills, sitting through intense lectures and hearing first-hand accounts from criminals behind bars for their poor decisions, some two dozen Apple Valley middle schoolers emerged as the most recent graduates of the SHOCK program.
The program, put on by the Police Activities League from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Apple Valley station, is aimed at combating the dangerous influences of life that can otherwise lead teens to end up in prison or dead on the streets.
Students participated three times a week for 10 weeks and went through one hour of physical activity and lectures, finally fulfilling the requirements to graduate on April 23.
