This week we have three students attending Camp Postcard. It is a week-long camp sponsored by law enforcement. Campers experience an abundance of outdoor activities while making new friends and connections with other campers all over the state. Our very own Ellie Moon is the 2024 Camper of the Week! This award is presented in honor of fallen deputy Luke Gross. The award is given to the camper that best exemplifies what he stood for: companionship, willingness to try new things, and friendship. Congratulations, Ellie. We are so proud of you! Stay tuned for more pictures and announcements from Camp Postcard...they wrap up tomorrow!
