On Monday, September 26, at 9
m. Constable Marshall and
Constable Paul Holmes from the
Wingham Police Department
came to our school to fingerprint
the students from grades K, 1,5,6,
and other students who had never
been printed.
One reason that this event takes
place is that if any child happened
to be kidnapped or went missing,
the Police Department could use
the fingerprints to identify the
child.
