• Virginia State Trooper, Gary Settle, recently visited Mrs. Jennifer Deal’s kindergarten class to talk to the children about safety and the importance of being good citizens. Naturally, he was wearing his uniform which coincidentally tied in nicely with the study of the U. Each child received his or her Junior Trooper badge, a pencil and a key chain. Students also got to sit in the police car and to meet Trooper Settle’s “friend”!?) who rides in the back. Thanks to Trooper Settle for visiting RCES.
