🚁🚔 **Red Ribbon Week excitement landed at Kendrick Elementary!** 🎗️✨

Officer Moon and the Waco Police Department joined us yesterday and brought high energy to campus with their **S.W.A.R.M. (Students With A Responsible Mindset)** program.

Kendrick students received an unforgettable, up-close look at community helpers in action, from patrol cruisers to an exciting landing by the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office helicopter right on the school field. Officer Moon spoke with the students about:

* Making smart, drug-free choices every single day
* Building leadership skills with a responsible mindset
* How police officers, deputies, and firefighters work together to keep Waco safe

Judging by the bright smiles and creative handmade police badges and firefighter helmets, the future at Kendrick is looking brighter than ever!
