 Police
Several Newton officers came out to Emberhope's Fall Bash this week to enjoy a friendly game of kickball with the youth at Opportunity Academy. Opportunity Academy is a trauma-informed personalized learning school that provides individualized support for students to set and reach academic and career goals that they might not receive in traditional school.
We are grateful for this kind of opportunity for positive interactions with at-risk youth in our community.
