East Vancouver — The Vancouver Police Activities League hosted its final literacy event of the school year at Burton Elementary School last month.
During the school year, officers visited second-, third- and fourth-graders in the Evergreen School District and Vancouver Public Schools hand out free books, encourage reading and create positive connections between kids and cops.
Each visit also included a safety presentation from either the Vancouver Police Department or Clark County Sheriff’s Office and a tour of a specialty police vehicle. For more information, go to www.vancouverpal.org.
