We would like to give a huge shoutout and heartfelt thank you to Princeton Chevrolet GMC!

A special thank you to Shawn Harden and his team for their incredibly generous donation of a brand-new Hummer E-Bike to the Ladd Police Department. We would also like to recognize Andrew Nenne and his team for doing an outstanding job outfitting the bike and preparing it for service.

This E-Bike will be a tremendous asset to our department and community. It will be utilized during community festivals, youth outreach events, neighborhood engagement programs, and to enhance our patrol capabilities throughout the Village of Ladd.

Partnerships like this demonstrate the commitment our local businesses have to supporting public safety and strengthening our community. We are truly grateful for your generosity, thoughtfulness, and continued support.

Thank you, Princeton Chevrolet GMC, for helping us better serve the residents of Ladd! 🚴‍♂️🚔💙

☀️🎉 SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER! 🎉☀️

Hope had an amazing time celebrating the last day of school with all of her friends at the end-of-year picnic! 🐾❤️ From smiles and laughter to hugs and high-fives, it was the perfect way to wrap up another wonderful school year.

While Hope is excited for summer adventures, she will definitely miss seeing all of your smiling faces every day. Thank you for all the pets, cuddles, and memories you’ve shared with her throughout the year!

As everyone heads off for a well-deserved summer break, Hope wants to remind you to stay safe, have fun, make great memories, and enjoy every moment with your family and friends. ☀️🏖️🍉

Before we know it, the hallways will be filled with excitement again, and Hope will be waiting with her wagging tail to welcome everyone back!

Have a fantastic summer, and we’ll see you all in the fall! 🐾💙
