We are excited to introduce our new School Resource Officer, Deputy Mancuso! He’s already been making his rounds at all of our schools, getting to know staff and students, and we’re thrilled to have him join the Warrior team. And yes—what better way to kick off the school year than with a super cool backpack and a Mickey Mouse lunch pail? Welcome to the team, Deputy Mancuso! #WarriorPride #RochesterStrong
