Chief Deaver presented Lewisville Police employees with a unique Badge of Honor COVID-19 lapel pin! This pin represents their hard work during the challenging year of social unrest, COVID-19, and weather issues. Each color represents something different, black is to mourn those who lost the battle to COVID, white respects those who fought to save lives, and the American flag represents the strength and resolve of the U.S. photo courtesy of the City of Lewisville

HEBRON’S WATCH YOUR WORDS CAMPAIGN
After hearing from students and their concerns regarding certain word and language use, Hebron High decided to bring awareness to the power of words and how words can affect others. It was dubbed the “Watch Your Words” campaign and contains a wide range of topics from courage to microaggressions. Both students and the community were pleased with the willingness to have these tough conversations to create a more unified, empathetic, and inclusive campus. photo courtesy of Lewisville ISD
