March 19: Sheriff Deputies to Collect for Special Olympics
It’s a different kind of line-up. When Brockman Elementary School parents drop their kids off in the carpool lane tomorrow morning, they’ll be greeted by a group of deputies, but not because there’s a problem. Starting at 7 a.m. Richland County’s finest along with Brockman staff and volunteers will be selling beautiful red Special Olympics bracelets for one dollar. Additional donations will be accepted. Brockman is located at 2245 Montclair Drive.
