Duluth School Patrol Year End Appreciation Party
This Friday, June 10th, from 9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., the Duluth Police Department will be hosting their annual School Patrol Year End Appreciation Party for over 200 well deserving Duluth School Patrollers at Adventure Zone in Canal Park.
The kids will be picked up at their schools and bussed to Adventure Zone, where they will spend the morning enjoying laser tag, batting cages, mini golf, and arcade games. They are then treated to pizza, cookies and soft drinks before participating in a large raffle drawing including prizes generously donated by several local businesses. Adventure Zone will be closed to the general public during this private event.
The School Patroller's Year End Appreciation party is the city's way to thank Duluth Area School Patrollers for a job well done. They work in all types of weather and their dedication has resulted in another safe year for Duluth children who walk to school every day.
During the school year Duluth's School Patrollers are also treated to a movie day including popcorn and beverage, A UMD Women's Hockey Game, and are presented with a certificate of service and appreciation gift at their school's year end assembly.
No taxpayer money is used to fund ANY of these events; they are all funded by generous donations from private citizens, local businesses, and local trade unions.
