Edna Louise Spear Elementary School welcomed a special guest from the Suffolk County Police Department as Officer Allison visited the school to speak with third, fourth, and fifth-grade students during a recent assembly focused on safety and awareness.

Officer Allison engaged students in meaningful discussions about the importance of internet safety, emphasizing how to make responsible choices online and protect personal information. Students also learned to recognize bullying and cyberbullying, gaining a deeper understanding of how these behaviors affect others.

A central theme of the presentation was the role of bystanders. Students were encouraged to stand up for their peers, report concerns to trusted adults, and contribute to a positive and respectful school environment. The assembly concluded with an interactive question-and-answer session, allowing students to learn more about the responsibilities of police officers and what it means to serve the community.

Edna Louise Spear Elementary School is grateful to Officer Allison and the Suffolk County Police Department for their commitment to educating and supporting students through informative and engaging community outreach.
