OMES thankful for protection provided by sheriff

Students, staff and faculty at Oak Mountain Elementary expressed their appreciation to Shelby County Sheriff Chris Curry for his dedication and devotion to students and for continuing to provide a safe learning environment. 

For much of 2013, the Shelby County Sherriff’s Department provided a deputy to be a visible part of the school and to ensure safety throughout the building. Deputies patrol the building looking for safety concerns and interact with parents, students and faculty.

The deputy’s presence has increased protection for children and, to show their gratitude, students and faculty presented Curry with a photo of all students at Oak Mountain Elementary holding letters that read “Thank you Sheriff Curry.”
