School started this morning and we have some great news that will impact the safety of our neighborhoods!
All five Osborn schools received School Safety Grants to support having a School Resource Officer or Probation Officer on campus. Officers are certified and highly trained to work effectively with students, teachers and families in the school community. They provide Law Related Education to students, contribute to the assessment of School Safety and Prevention, are a resource for the students and their families in need of community based services; and serve as a liaison between the school community and law enforcement. The officers also serve as role models and talk with students about issues that have real-life importance, building their trust and confidence to turn to law enforcement if and when the occasion arises.

Literacy Master Teacher Brendan Mann received a $10,000 Media and Technology grant from the Arizona Republic. He plans to use the funds to purchase a classroom set of netbook computers for an Electronic Literacy project. With the daily integration of technology, students can increase their literacy comprehension skills, critical thinking, and problem solving.
