Hubbell Elementary School celebrates National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day

By Laura Bailey

Students and staff lined the walls at Hubbell Elementary School on Monday awaiting the arrival of two special visitors: Bristol Police officers Brian Hileman and Jeffrey Parracino.

“We wanted to say thank you to our Bristol Police Officers.” said Jennifer St. John. “The kids are so excited to see them, we love our Bristol Police Department.”

Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.
Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions.
