Nebo School District was thrilled to join forces with the Utah County Sheriff’s Department for the annual Cops and Kids - Back to School event on Thursday, August 14th, at the Payson Walmart. Thanks to this meaningful partnership, local students were selected to team up with law enforcement officers for a special morning of back-to-school shopping, picking out brand-new clothes, shoes, and essential supplies to start the academic year with confidence.

Events like this highlight the strength of our community and the dedicated individuals who support our students both inside and outside the classroom. The district extends its heartfelt thanks to the Utah County Sheriff’s Department for their generosity, mentorship, and continued commitment to our youth.

"I would like to thank Nebo School District for letting us come in and sponsor them this year. We love giving back to our communities and engaging wherever we can. Giving these wonderful kids the special opportunity to have a great day and to get some time in with our officers and deputies while they go back to school shopping... we can’t think of anything better. This is what we strive for as law enforcement officers. Our hearts are full. Thank you!" — Deputy K. Hall, Utah County Sheriff's Department
