Mayor Bridge Littleton, the entire Middleburg Town Council and staff, and Chief of Police Panebianco welcomed the new class of Middleburg Community Charter School Safety Patrol members and their families to Town Hall for official swearing-in and badge presentation ceremonies.

The Mayor reminded the new members of the Patrol of the great responsibility they were taking on and note that he was sure they did not do so lightly.

Chief Panebianco outlined the important role a safety patrol officer plays not only in helping their fellow students (and others) move safely through traffic, but help teach other students about safety. Their training and work, he said, builds character, teaches good citizenship, community service and respect for authority.
