APD Annual Reports - 2018 Annual Report | Page 29

In September, the South District was asked to participate in Ashworth Elementary’s annual Pinwheel of Peace celebration. This program is a national program where children design their own pinwheels of all shapes and sizes. One side of the pinwheel has their thoughts written about peace, tolerance, and living in harmony with others. On the other side of the pinwheel, children draw, paint, collage pictures or create anything else that helps them express their feelings. All of Ashworth’s pinwheels were placed in the ground in front of the school on September 21 st , recognizing the International Day of Peace. Trunk or Treat is an annual Halloween party hosted at the South Patrol District which attracted over 1,200 participants in 2018. Families are able to meet with officers and tour law enforcement equipment.   Box Lunches for Twin Parks Mobile Home - Sgt.
