Buchanan Elementary kicked off Red Ribbon Week with a Touch-A-Truck event. Several emergency services, law enforcement, and local businesses/organizations sent equipment and presenters for the event. The students enjoyed hearing these professionals talk about their careers and learn about the machinery and equipment they use to get the hard jobs done.
The organizers expressed appreciation to all the representatives from: Botetourt Sheriff’s Office (ERT Team, K9 Unit, Motorcycle Unit, Jail Transport Unit), James River Equipment, Virginia State Police K9, Botetourt Fire and Rescue, Hugh’s Transport, Angels of Assisi, Robert Young Towing and the USDA Forestry Service.
