Nash Elementary Student Gets Police Escort To School

LANSDALE, PA -- One lucky first grade student from General Nash Elementary School rode with some hometown VIPs on Friday, February 5th.

Cooper Middlekauff, a first grader, was joined by Principal Jon Winkle and the Towamencin Police Department for a police escort to school in one of the department vehicles.

As part of a week-long Home & School fundraiser which took place in December of 2015, students from General Nash were invited to visit Chick-Fil-A in Hatfield as part of a “Dine-and-Donate” program. For every student and family who mentioned Nash at the checkout, a portion of their check was donated to the Nash Home & School Association.

Each participating student’s name was then entered into a drawing to win a ride to school in a police car with Principal Winkle, the district said.

Cooper was picked up from his home to enjoy a police escort alongside Mr. Winkle around his neighborhood and through town before finally arriving at General Nash Elementary School where students and staff gathered to greet him as he arrives in style.
