Law enforcement officers and students from Washington Park Elementary school spent Wednesday afternoon fishing, participating in archery, making s’mores and enjoying the great outdoors at Mingo Creek County Park as part of an end-of-year Bigs in Blue celebration.
The field trip was made possible through a partnership between Pennsylvania State Police, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, and Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Greater Pittsburgh.
This is the second school year Bigs in Blue, a BBBSPGH program that pairs law enforcement officials with youth, has been offered to Washington Park Elementary fourth-graders.
Bigs spend two days each month with their littles, enjoying lunch and other activities on campus. The field trip was a fun wrap to another successful school year.
