School Safety Alert
Last Monday night, we had two cars vandalized in our back parking lot during a home basketball game. These incidents were reported to Lynchburg police, who tell us that larceny from vehicles is the #1 crime in Lynchburg at this time. Police suggest that car owners LOCK their cars and clear any valuable items out of sight - better yet, leave nothing of value in the car. We plan to increase surveillance of this area during home games.
December 6 is St. Nicholas Day. Don't forget to put out your shoes...or boots i f you have been especially good!!!
