Today's Spotlight: Smith Clove's School Resource Officer Kathleen Arroyo. According to Principal Cook, Officer Arroyo "can be seen at arrivals and dismissals greeting our newest students and high fiving those who are returning. She always has a smile on her face and works diligently to ensure that our students and staff are safe. Officer Arroyo works alongside the safety team to review procedures and develop plans to ensure that we are always prepared for an emergency.
