The Sheriff’s Office was honored to attend Family Night prior to the start of the School year and held a drawling for a ride to School in a patrol car. Tuesday morning, Deputy Kieliszewski gave one lucky student a ride to school in his patrol car and made a quick stop to get breakfast!

This lucky Rayder won the raffle at Family night to get escorted to school by our School Resource Officer, Deputy Kieliszewski!

They even grabbed a special breakfast on the way! But don’t worry, Deputy Kieliszewski got her to school on time!
