On Saturday, December 19th, members of the Optimist Clubs of St. Mary's County and members of the St. Mary's Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7, prepared breakfast and wrapped gifts for the officers and children participating in the program.
Kate Eggart, along with the staff of St. Mary's County Public Schools and the principals and counselors of several parochial schools, submitted names of children who were selected for the program.
Officers and deputies from the State Fire Marshal's Office, United States Coast Guard, Point Lookout Department of Natural Resource Park Rangers, Federal Bureau of Investigation, St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office, St. Mary's County Office of Parole and Probation, troopers from the Maryland State Police — St. Mary's, Calvert, and LaPlata barracks, and Troopers from the Maryland State Police Aviation Division volunteered to take the children shopping.
Sheriff Tim Cameron and the men and women of the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office sincerely thank everyone who continues to make this event, (and “Back to School Shop with a Cop”), an incredible success every year.
