Deputies Participate In Read-A-Book Day At Head Start Pre-School
Yulee, Fla. – Sheriff Bill Leeper and deputies from the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office had the opportunity to read to students at the Callahan Head Start pre-school on Thursday, March 12, 2015. Students listened attentively as each deputy read a book of interest to the kids. Afterwards, all the children went outside to look at and sit in a patrol car. Some talked over the PA system and some even turned on the siren. The kids and deputies all had a great time interacting with one another.
Callahan Head Start is located in Callahan, FL. It is a preschool that serves children ages 3-5 and offers instructional programs in reading and math.
