I’d like to invite you to come to the school on November 6th at 5PM and meet our Cambridge Police Youth Resource Officers and Neighborhood Sergeants, as well as Cambridge Public Safety Professionals from Fire, Emergency Communications, PRO-EMS, and Animal Control.

I hope you will be able to join us!
Have a great weekend!
