Sunday was School Resource Officer Appreciation Day, and we are taking a moment to celebrate Officer Brandon Hartin.

Officer Hartin is more than just a security presence; he is a vital member of our educational team. Throughout the year, he works tirelessly to empower our students with the knowledge they need to navigate the modern world safely.

• 🎓 In the Classroom: Officer Hartin leads essential lessons on drug awareness, internet safety, and responsible phone usage, helping students make smart choices in a digital age.
• 🏟️ Under the Lights: He provides extra security during our sporting events, ensuring our families can focus on the game and the athletes.
• 🏫 Daily Protection: From morning drop-off to the final bell, Officer Hartin provides an invaluable layer of safety and a friendly face for students to look up to every single day.

Thank you, Officer Hartin, for your mentorship, your protection, and your dedication to Waterloo CUSD #5. You make our schools a better place to learn and grow.
