Fifth-graders Brandon Cox, Will Crawford, Jared Deaton, Vraj Patel, Gracen Wilson and Hanna Jon Lewis were selected to participate in the School Safety Patrol Program, sponsored by the Rome Police Department.
“School Safety Patrol membership is an honored position,” said Steve Bartholomew, director of Lower School. “Millions of boys and girls have served since the nationwide movement was started in the early 1920s. Today, more than 500,000 members are on duty each day of the school year, helping classmates.”
According to Bartholomew, patrols set a positive example by knowing and practicing safe walking behaviors, and their job is to remind classmates of the rules without being “bossy.”
“We are proud of these emerging leaders,” he said. “They are doing an important job by keeping their classmates safe."
