Island Park’s Moffitt and Levin honored

Nathan Moffitt and Aaron Levin, both fifth grade students at Island Park Elementary, are members of the Island Park Safety Patrol. Both boys have gone above and beyond to exhibit great leadership as Captains of their patrol shifts, said their advisor, teacher Lindsay Oliveira. They can be depended on to be at their posts on time and ready to focus on the task of helping students arrive to and leave school in a safe manner.

Island Crest Way is a very busy street, and Nathan and Aaron treat their job seriously. On Friday, the two Mercer Island police officers came to recognize Nathan and Aaron during a ceremony at the school. Both boys were given certificates of recogniton as well as a Chief’s Challenge coin to help recognize their efforts.
