Last week, some of the OWL Patrol members got to celebrate our year together with a cook out! We had the best time playing kickball, karaoke-ing, and just enjoying some time together!

An extra special thank you goes out to Sergeant Darius Barnes for volunteering his time to grill for us!

Maggie’s Owl Patrol Prom Night Safety Tips 2026 🦉

I’d like to thank the students of McGehee High School for the cheers they gave the OWL Patrol when the video concluded! I’m so proud of the OWL Patrol and the knowledge they shared with the “big kids”! I will share their video, so stay tuned!

We want to thank Officer Mikie Araguz and Sergeant Darius Barnes for coming to speak to us about their jobs and roles in safety last week! All of the students asked some great questions, and we enjoyed learning more about how different each officer’s day to day is!

Officer Araguz is assigned to the police department’s patrol division, and Sergeant Barnes is assigned to the Criminal Investigations Division (CID) as the supervisor. Some of the students were already familiar with both officers, but to those who weren’t, they made a new friendship with both! We are so thankful to have a great partnership with our officers!

Yesterday, Maggie’s Owl Patrol met and discussed basic safety for children. Their hands on project consisted of group posters with one of our safety tips! They were assigned to random small groups in order to both get to know other members and learn to work with others to accomplish their objective!

From Officer Dallas: I am very proud of this awesome group of kids! They have all shown outstanding character, amazing growth, and great leadership this year! They are all taking the information I’m teaching them and sharing with their friends and classmates to keep them safe!
