In October, our preschoolers in Ms. Elmes’ class had a visit from Officer Tony, our School Class 3 Officer at Woodmere Elementary School. Officer Tony sat down with students and shared his responsibilities within the district.
Officer Tony helped students understand that he is there as a protector, helper, and a friend. His job is to make sure our schools are a safe and happy place for all students, staff, and families.
Mr. McCue shared in a letter at the beginning of this school year, “Eatontown Public Schools and the Eatontown Police Department have enjoyed a very collaborative and cooperative relationship. Both organizations understand the value of keeping students and staff safe within a supportive social and emotional learning environment. The Eatontown Police Department is an appreciated presence in our schools and has been instrumental in many successful school programs such as L.E.A.D and the bicycle safety programs. The goal is to extend this relationship in order to protect students and staff in the future.”
Creating these relationships in our classrooms, schools, and community creates a positive environment for Eatontown. Thank you Officer Tony and all of our Eatontown Public Schools Class 3 Officers for everything you do for our community!
