Camp Fresh Start

Good Morning Sgt. Glasgow and supporting police officers,

First of all I want to thank you and your fellow officers for visiting Camp Fresh Start. The officers did a fabulous job interacting with the children, and their presentation was very age-appropriate. The children enjoyed themselves very much because it was the first thing they told their parents while being picked up. The teachers were also reminded and encouraged to teach the children their full name, address and telephone numbers for safety purposes. Again thank you for supporting my Summer Day Camp program, and offering the children an experience of a lifetime. I'm certain they will never forget it.
