THE FUNNIEST VALENTINES DAY CARDS BY KIDS!!
The Neshannock Police Department is seeing red in a good way today, thanks to the "Neighborhood Kids" from First Assembly of G*d.
In an effort to put into practice lessons learned during their weekly gatherings, the students of the church"s children"s ministry created individual valentines for the department"s nine officers, including K-9 Avi.
"It was really nice; you could tell they took a lot of time to create them," Lt. John Rand said Monday. "A lot of them are red ... we have them hanging up on a bulletin board in the patrol room."
Rand said he was particularly touched by the children"s efforts, as they made cards for each officer, instead of one for the whole department.
"Every once in a while we"ll get a big group one, but they made one for each officer. A couple of the officers have them in their lockers."
The group"s teacher, Beverly Quinn, said the project allowed the children to get involved in their community. In previous years, she pointed out, projects have focused on other organizations and agencies, such as local nursing homes and veterans at the VA hospital in Butler.
"Our kids are learning what G*d says about helping, caring for and loving our neighbors," she said. "This year we will be focusing on our local police, fire and EMS.
"While these valentines aren"t a lot, our kids used their time and talents to show that they care for the officers and what they do for the community."
The students presented the valentines to officer Robert Sipe following a question and answer period with him. They also provided the K-9 officer with a bag of dog treats.
