In 2009, Burlington Police Department-NC Officer Mike Medley was a cadet in the Junior Police Academy. This week, he returned to share his powerful story of how the experience shaped his life's journey to become an officer. His journey shows students how programs like this academy can open doors and positively impact lives. The cadets now see how they too could follow a similar path of service and leadership. #ABSSDifferenceMakers https://youtu.be/mlxeylbc_7M

All flyers can also be found on district and school websites. Look for the 🍑 button.
