Today, our summer students had an exciting and educational visit from Officer Fruchey! We learned all about school safety and the important role our local officers play in keeping us safe in school and outside of school.
The highlight? Getting to sit in her patrol car and even turn on the lights and sirens! 💡🔊 The students were full of curiosity and asked some fantastic questions.
