Have a Happy New School Year!

Have a Happy School Year!

Be Prepared!  This is not just the motto of the Boy Scouts, it is good advice for all young people going to school next month.  In this spirit there are people in every community wishing students well for the fast approaching school year. 

In Pocomoke, The Cellular Connection, Worcester County Gold and the Pocomoke City Police Department have all gathered school supplies to help kids get ready for that much anticipated first day of school.  We all remember that day—the day when we planned ahead for the back to school clothes, made sure we had all we needed, tucked neatly into a back pack or book bag.  It’s the day when moms embarrass the kids by taking that annual first day of school picture!   It's coming soon kids, so do your best this year!

 Chief Kelvin Sewell & Gayle Waters greet the families while Officer McGlotten hands out the bags of school supplies.

 Cool glasses for this back to schooler!

 Michelle was helping get her children ready for the first day and a successful new school year.

Pretty in pink, Sydney has a big bag of school supplies to start the year right.

On Saturday, Officer McGlotten, Chief Kelvin Sewell and his assistant, Gayle Waters had bags of those most needed supplies, as described in specific lists from the Pocomoke school teachers of grades Pre-K – 8.    More than 80 kids and their families came to get a gift of supplies to prepare them for another successful school year.   Through this and other community policing events, the Pocomoke City Police officers enjoy getting to know the kids of our community!

Burgers, fries and sodas were served  and everyone seemed to enjoy the event.
