The importance of being vigilant

With most Texans still remembering the tragedy in Uvalde, it is a good idea to remember to be aware of your surroundings. It's a good idea to report any strange behavior or activity to the nearest law officer.

It's also very important that young children know that if they see or feel strange behavior going on, to report it to a teacher.

Keeping each other safe is of the utmost importance.
