Friends of the Family's and the Laredo Police Department's primary mission is to the protection and betterment of our families future. Family Chevrolet, the Laredo Medical Center and "Your Family of Stations" - KGNS, Your CW and Telemundo Laredo" are committed to this through the 8th Grader of the MOnth program.

As part of our commitment to education, the 8th Grader of the Month program is out in our community acknowledging the hard work and determination that our 8th Graders and their families set forth.

Every month during the school year the Friends of the Family, the Laredo Police Department, along with both school districts, parents, teachers and counselors recognize one outstanding 8th grader from each of the schools in our community. Each month a different school plays host, offering an entertaining program with food and refreshments. While making sure that all of the honorees are acknowledged for their accomplishments.
