Officer Builds Rapport with Students

Detective Trista Manchuso was recently hired as the School Resource Officer for Maynard. On October 12th, she spent the morning at Green Meadow assisting us with arrival routines and facilitating a school-wide safety drill, then she stopped in Ms. Wallace's class to read kindergarteners a story. When GMS students see "Officer Trista" in the halls, they love to gather around and ask questions. On multiple occasions, I have overheard children exclaim, "I didn't know girls could be policemen!" and "I want to be a policewoman when I grow up!" She is a wonderful role model for students in all three Maynard schools.
