In addition to delivering snacks to emergency personnel this week, Andalusia Elementary School fourth graders wrote thank-you notes to first responders.
A sampling of their thoughts follow.
Dear police officer,

Dear police officer,
Thank you for being a friend. Traveled down the road and back again. Thank you for keeping us safe. Where would the bad people be if we did not have you?

Dear Police Officer,
Thank you for helping Andalusia for being safe. I like police. I want to be just like y’all and me and my brother play cops and robbers. It was fun. I pray for god to please take care of y’all. Thank you for taking care of Andalusia, Alabama.
Love Grayson.

Dear Hero,
I would like to say thank you for keeping us safe. When I was little I always wanted to be a firegirl or police girl. And thank you for fighting and taking risks for us.
