🌟 Cops for Kind Kids Award 🌟
Congratulations to Oskaloosa Elementary fifth grader Ernie Moses, who was recognized with this month’s Cops for Kind Kids award by School Resource Officer Logan Nord.
Ernie was nominated by paraeducator Jeana Tacke, who shared, “I have seen Ernie SEVERAL times spending his entire recess picking up garbage on the playground. He is helping make the playground a clean and fun place for all 3rd–5th grade students.”
Thank you, Ernie, for leading by example and showing what it means to take pride in your school and care for others. 💜 #OskyBuildsLeaders #ALLIN
