He’s there to ensure safety.

And, he has loads of experience in police work.

Dave Sparks is the first-ever school resource officer at Ada Schools.

He is among the first to arrive at the school in the morning and among the last to leave when the school day is done.

He’s in uniform and he has a gun. He carries radios and phones to make quick contact, if the need ever arises.

Today is Pajama Day at Ada Schools for Spirit Week, which is part of this weekend’s Homecoming. Pictured here are Brook Phillips (left), Supt. Mary Skilliter, and Grace Allison. Each day this week there is a different dress up theme.
