WF Police to host “Too Cool for School” back-to-school events August 20

The Wake Forest Police Department will host concurrent “back-to-school events” on Wednesday, Aug. 20, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at Taylor Street Park, 416 N. Taylor St., and Joyner Park Community Center, 701 Harris Road.

“Too Cool for School” will offer local young people the chance to get to know Wake Forest Police officers, while enjoying the amenities at two popular Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources (PRCR) facilities. At JPCC, several officers will play basketball with the kids, while at Taylor Street Park, officers will interact with youngsters enjoying the sprayground.

Free and open to everyone, both events will also include giveaways to help students start the school year off with a few of the essentials they need, including pens, pencils, and rulers.
