It was a busy week for students as South Valley School as they had fun learning a lot about the men and women who serve and protect in our communities. It was “Sheriff’s Week” at the school filled with activities involving members of the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies went into classrooms to answer questions from students about their jobs and why they got into law enforcement. Then, students were able to dine with the deputies and get to know them as friends as well.
The week ended with a big “Sheriff’s Week” parade where students were able to see squad cars and emergency vehicles, waving to those behind the wheel. They even were given the opportunity to get inside the mobile Command Center vehicle and see how lights, sirens, and radios work on squad cars.
Thanks to the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office for taking time out for South Valley students and staff. Getting to know those who serve and protect is so very valuable, something students will remember well beyond their time at South Valley.
