SRO Deputy Espel visited classrooms to share Halloween safety tips. Some tips were to carry a flashlight while trick or treating so you are visible, look both ways before crossing the street, and get your candy checked before eating it. Deputy Espel also asked students to practice reciting their addresses and phone numbers so they can easily get home if they need help.
