More than 70 leaders from Academy for Young Writers, Spring Creek Nehemiah, East New York Nehemiah, New Lots Nehemiah, Hope City, Redwood Senior Living, Bethany Baptist, and St. Paul Community Baptist Church showed up to meet the new commanding officer, Deputy Inspector John Mastronardi, at St. Paul. Leaders received good recognition and respect, with commitments on issues for additional police patrols and visibility at school dismissal, and in the nearby Spring Creek Nehemiah development.

We recognize student and staff leaders of Young Writers for turning out in such big numbers following the attacks on students at dismissal.
