This is School Resource Officer James Clark. We love having him support our schools. He’s been patrolling traffic around the school and reminding people to observe posted speed limits and stop signs. Heed his advice and take it easy when driving around children (and adults too)

Be respectful to kids even if they are disrespectful back. Be kind to kids even if they are unkind back. Smile at kids even if they don’t smile back. Say good morning to kids even if they don’t say it back. Add yours 👇. #edchat #thatonekid #kidsdeserveit
