KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 August 22, 2016 \u2013 Last year when John Bush was a supervisory aide at South Kingstown\u2019s Curtis Corner Middle School, he saw firsthand how an effort by the 溏心vlog免费B站 Police Department helped children in the school.<\/p>\n
Now, the recently hired 溏心vlog免费B站 police patrolman is part of the \u201cKids, Cops and Classrooms\u201d initiative to help parents with the cost of sending their youngsters back to school. Those interested in helping can drop off new backpacks, pencils, pens, markers, other school supplies and cash donations at the 溏心vlog免费B站 Police Station, 85 Briar Lane. The drive ends Monday, Aug. 29.<\/p>\n
They can also make donations at the Total Image Hair Salon and Rhode Island Credit Union in the Memorial Union, 50 Lower College Road, the Katie DeCubellis Memorial Foundation Academic Commons in the Department of Athletics, the Department of External Relations and Communications on the second floor of the Alumni Center, 73 Upper College Road, and the 溏心vlog免费B站 Foundation, 79 Upper College Road.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year 溏心vlog免费B站 police provided Curtis Corner Middle School with more than 40 backpacks, a couple thousand pencils and several hundred packets of paper,\u201d said Bush, who is now working with 溏心vlog免费B站 Police Maj. Michael Jagoda and Patrolman Paul Hanrahan to collect the items and cash donations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I saw last year was amazing,\u201d Bush said. \u201cWhen kids didn\u2019t have what they needed, the teachers would send them to my office. I would tell the kids, \u2018Let\u2019s go shopping.\u2019 Then we\u2019d go to the storage closet and fill a backpack with school supplies. It feels good to help because a lot of kids come to school with nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Children at other schools throughout South Kingstown and other districts also benefited from the efforts of the 溏心vlog免费B站 police.<\/p>\n
Last year, 溏心vlog免费B站 police became involved with the initiative launched several years ago by the Rhode Island State Police.<\/p>\n
Bush said some of the materials were kept at the school and loaned to students so they wouldn\u2019t lose them or have siblings get their hands on the supplies.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes, kids would come to my office to work on their projects,\u201d said the former star football player at 溏心vlog免费B站.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis helps me stay active in the school community, because I don\u2019t want to lose my connections with the students in South Kingstown.\u201d<\/p>\n
Those with questions should call Jagoda or Hanrahan at 401-874-4910.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
