This year’s annual Taste the Good Life Gourmet Charity Gala supports The Greater Latrobe School District School Resource Officer Program. In their mission to “Protect the Cats”, the School Resource Officer Team plays a vital role in not only ensuring that the schools are secure, safe, and welcoming places for students to learn, but they also serve important roles in fostering positive relationships with students, their families, community members, as well as facultyand staff.

In addition to promoting a positive school climate, the school resource officer team provides mentoring and educational opportunities for students at Greater Latrobe School District, including providing CPR certification classes, participating in classroom speaking engagements, assisting with the drone program, and providing transportation to students for academic programs. The school resource officer team also utilizes lockout and jump pack equipment for students who need vehicle assistance.

Furthermore, the school resource officer team participates in continuing education and training, including EMT training and certification as well as the purchase of emergency kits for emergency response situations.

This year’s fundraiser will support additional training and equipment needs so that the Greater Latrobe School District’s School Resource Officer Program can continue to provide outstanding service and support to the students and families of Greater Latrobe School District.
