Santa Cop

Today we had a visit from Sgt. Scott Rhodes of the Grapevine Police Department. He told the students about Santa Cop, a Christmas initiative sponsored by the Grapevine Police Department to help provide toys to kids in Grapevine. The students decided to raise money to buy toys for Santa Cop. We will be working to create art that we showcase in an Art Show after the Thanksgiving Break.  Watch here for more details about how you can purchase your child's artwork to support our community service project. All of the money raised will be used to purchase toys for Santa Cop.
