Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School contributes to Beyond the Badge’s fifth annual Cards for Cops
Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School recently took park in the fifth annual Cards for Cops program, run by the local nonprofit Beyond the Badge. As part of the initiative, students created holiday cards for local law enforcement officers, thanking thank them for their service.
“We’re very proud of our students for showing their appreciation to local law enforcement officers,” said Superintendent of Schools Seth Lipshie.
Beyond the Badge is a New York nonprofit dedicated to providing mental health resources and suicide prevention awareness among law enforcement. Through its Cards for Cops initiative, the nonprofit partners with local schools and community groups to give children a chance to extend their appreciation to law enforcement. The goal is that a sweet gesture from a child could inspire and restore the spirit of many officers who put themselves on the frontlines every day, both physically and mentally.
