It’s a program that Project R.O.C.K has been offering in St. Lucie County for over 20 years, with the blessing of the School District of course.
Dr. Lorna Freckleton, the Executive Director of Project Rock South in Port St. Lucie, is with us to talk about the program. She’s joined by her son LaMar who’s a member of the office staff.
