Dear Officer Schwenn, Thank you for championing the Safety Patrol Program at Longwood. You have established a program that allows students to experience responsibility, growth, and pride in fulfilling their job. Take a bow!!! It was such a pleasure to accompany you and Ms. Flowers to DC with the Safety Patrols. I wasn’t sure what to expect….and my expectations were exceeded by leaps and bounds. I enjoyed watching you in action. You are an incredible role model to the students in your care. It was so warming to witness you first-hand, engaging with and guiding them. You have left an indelible mark on each and every one of them. I so appreciate you being at Longwood Elementary. Your commitment and dedication to keeping our children protected and safe on the school campus can’t be highlighted enough! As David leaves Longwood, he is sad at what he has to say good-bye to. I am too! I have come to really enjoy the community that is at Longwood. Thank you! As an aside, I do think we had the best bus out of all 3. You, Ms. Flowers, and the other parents helped create a fun, humorous, casual, but disciplined atmosphere. David is saying today that he wishes it could have gone on another day. 😊 Take time for yourself this summer to recuperate and relax. I hope our paths cross again. All my best, Lauren Wright
