The usual lunch staff was replaced by Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) deputies and first responders from Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Clarksville Fire Rescue (CFR).
West Creek Elementary School Resource Officer Jason Wright organized the event and called it Public Servants Serving Students Day. He invited fellow deputies, paramedics, and fire fighters to help him serve lunch to the students.
Chuck Ladd and Jobe Moore with CFR, Brian McNeeley from EMS, and Tim Harp, Sue Pender, and Chris Montjoy from MCSO accepted his invitation.
“I wanted kids to see public servants in a different light. We aren’t here just to arrest people or when something bad happens,” said Wright. “We are here to serve our community in many different ways and today that included serving students lunch.”
The Clarksville Montgomery County School System posted a short video of the event.
Wright is organizing another Public Servants Serving Students Day for Hazelwood Elementary on Nov 19. If any service organization would like to join or for more information please contact SRO Wright at jason.wright@cmcss.net.
