Queen Creek Unified School District students recently welcomed the town's new police officers to the community. A group of students presented the Queen Creek Police Department with welcome bags as part of their service project for the district-wide Lead Out Loud club.
"One of the things the students are challenged with is to do service learning projects. We believe that's a really important ingredient in building leaders," said Queen Creek Unified Superintendent Dr. Perry Berry.
Students across the district are selected by committees, teams and teachers for the Lead Out Loud club to cultivate leadership skills. They assembled the bags during their annual conference, incorporating items like water bottles, snacks, hand sanitizer and more. Students were proud to show their appreciation to local officers and signal the beginning of a strong partnership.
"We are so grateful to the staff, students and families of the Queen Creek Unified School District and the 'Lead-out-Loud' committee," said Police Chief Randy Brice. "Today, we received essential supplies that will aid those individuals in the community that we meet and support on a daily basis. This sort of community-based leadership, participation and collaboration is what truly makes the Town of Queen Creek such a wonderful place to live, learn, play and visit."
The Queen Creek Police Department will launch at midnight on Jan. 11, 2022.
