Brookside PTA awards LFP Police Officer with Outstanding Service award

Every PTA gives annual awards for service in the spring. The Golden Acorn goes to an outstanding PTA volunteer. Outstanding Educator goes to a teacher or administrator. There are other awards, which are not routinely given but are available if there is a person or organization which has been particularly of value to the PTA.

One of these awards is the Outstanding Service award. It is given to someone whose work - either paid or volunteer - has helped further the goals of the PTA, whose motto is "Every Child - One Voice."

This year, the Brookside PTA gave an Outstanding Service award to Lake Forest Park Police Officer George Colman.

Here is part of what was written about George 

“…At Halloween he was roaming the neighborhood making sure kids and families were safe… During the February snowstorm George stopped to have a snowball fight with many of the children in LFP…. I have heard many amazing stories of George serving the LFP neighborhood and taking time to interact with the kids…”

LFP Police say "Great work George, you are a huge asset to this community and the department."
