🚓💙 Happy School Resource Officer (SRO) Day! 💙🚓

February 15 is National School Resource Officer (SRO) Appreciation Day.

This day is dedicated to honoring the men and women who serve as School Resource Officers and to those officers who go above and beyond for the students, staff, and families in our community.

SRO's are more than officers — they are mentors, educators, role models, and trusted friends. Most importantly, our community is stronger because of them.

Thank you Officer Auch for the work you do with the students and staff at Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah School District and Howards Grove School District. If you see him over the next few days, be sure to give him a thank you for all he has done.
