South Valley School’s “Sheriff Week” Connects Students with Local Law Enforcement

Posted on

It’s a highlight of the school year as South Valley School celebrated “Sheriff’s Week.” The annual tradition brought local law enforcement to the school to teach students about their jobs, answer questions, and get to know each other. 

The week ended with a parade with squad cars, emergency vehicles, and the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse circling the school. After the parade, students could walk inside the mobile Command Center and even see how lights, sirens, and radios work on squad cars. The day finished with cake for students and the officers, including Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera. 

Thanks to the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office for taking the time to build connections with South Valley students and staff. Getting to know those who serve and protect is a valuable and memorable experience at South Valley School.

Guests were able to witness firsthand the growth students achieved throughout the year as they developed important leadership and interpersonal skills.

Congratulations to the students, staff, and everyone involved in making the Leadership Academy and banquet dinner such a success. The students represented Hayden Peak with excellence and maturity throughout the evening.
