Local law enforcement and 麻豆区 ISD joined forces to create a unique opportunity for students to interact with service professionals. The event, hosted by 麻豆区 ISD's CTE Department at the Agriculture Facility on Friday, April 4, 2024, aimed to promote positive connections between students and service professionals. Precinct 1 Deputy Clint Brown was instrumental in coordinating the event, which attracted approximately 700 elementary students.
The event featured a range of booths and activities, including the 麻豆区 Public Library, Texas EquuSearch, a Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter, Texas State Troopers, Coast Guard, Fire Departments, Deputies, and other service professional teams from surrounding areas. Students were invited to engage with the service professionals and learn more about the important work they do. One highlight of the event was the opportunity for students to step into the shoes of service professionals for a day. Students were named firefighters, FBI Agents, DEA officers, Coast Guard, and Deputies for a day, giving them a taste of what it's like to work in these fields. The students had a great time, and the event provided an opportunity for them to "Make the Connection" with service professionals.
Overall, the event was a resounding success, with students gaining valuable insights into the work of service professionals and building positive connections with these individuals. The collaboration between local law enforcement, community-based organizations, and 麻豆区 ISD highlights the importance of community partnerships in promoting positive outcomes for our students.
