Students and staff showed their support to local law enforcement last week as part of a “Back the Blue” project.
On Tuesday, Dec. 13, Humboldt Middle School invited law enforcement officers in for a “Lunch of Gratitude.” Invitations were sent to the Humboldt County Law Enforcement Center for all of their personnel to join the students and staff during the lunch waves. A total of 20 law enforcement personnel joined the students for lunch.
The event was the idea of teacher Carolyn Kunert.
“With all of the recent events going on in our country, Humboldt Middle School decided that we wanted to show support to the law enforcement officers in our community," Kunert said.
The event was such a success, the school is looking at making the assembly a monthly event.
