Shawn-Paul and Anthony Jackson represented SACS at Camp POSTCARD last week! Camp POSTCARD stands for, Police Officers Striving To Create And Reinforce Dreams. Camp is held each June in Poland, Maine and staffed by volunteer law enforcement. Throughout the week, these 5th and 6th grade campers are exposed to a variety of activities and adventures including team-building activities, rock wall climbing, fishing and kayaking. A special thanks goes out to William Janakis for helping us with the nomination process and for looking out for our boys at camp. Also, thank you to Rick York for assisting with their transportation. Great job, Anthony and Shawn-Paul; you represented us well and we can't wait to hear all about it!
