Behind the badge is a mentor, a coach, and a familiar face in our hallways. 🛡️ Sunday is National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day, and we are incredibly grateful for the officers who keep our campuses safe and our spirits high. They do so much more than protect; they build relationships, offer guidance, and ensure every student feels secure enough to focus on learning. Join us in saying "Thank You" to our SROs for everything they do for our Lexington One family! 💙#SROAppreciationDay #SchoolSafety
