2008 Press Release: Police Department Pen Pals

For immediate release
June 12, 2008

The Police Department recently teamed up with Ms. Lori Jensen's 4th grade class from North School (20 students) this year. Police wrote letters back and forth during the school year. The students were escorted by police officers as they walked from North School to the Police Station to meet their pen pals on a recent Saturday. The students and Police chatted for a while and then were given a complete tour of the Police Department. The students had presents for the officers and each student was given a police tee shirt that said PEN PAL 2008. The officers and the students all had a wonderful time. Police Commander Timothy Veit and Ms. Jensen plan on continuing this great program next year with her new class of students.
