Student Contributor -S. Pierce
\nWith my first grade class we contacted Spokane, Washington State Troopers<\/a>, and had a State Trooper come into our classroom to share with our class what a trooper does for our community. The trooper let the students ask him questions and get to build a relationship with our local patrol. After the visit the students wrote thank you letters for the troopers in Spokane.\"\"<\/p>\n

With the students we took time to write out thank you notes for the state trooper. For all the notes the students got to draw a small picture and a description for why they are thankful for the state troopers. The students thanked him for his service and for protecting our community. I then delivered the notes to the trooper a few days later. For this project we got to reach out to the state troopers and really let them know how appreciated they are. This gave students opportunities to meet a friendly face from our local law enforcement and make a meaningful connection with them. This opportunity was so powerful for the students. They were so excited to see that an officer was willing to take time out of his schedule to come share with our class.<\/p>\n

\"\"For this project it was fairly easy to plan once you have contacted a trooper to come visit your class. The trooper I talked with was very excited to go into the class and share with us. On the day of we just let our front office know that he would be coming to visit and they directed us to our classroom. One thing to remember is to ensure your principal knows as well, as we did not and she was quite surprised when she saw a state trooper pull up to our school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
