Pie ‘served’ to Gallatin police as summer school ends Chief Mark Richards along with Officers Jarod McKee and Seth Allen were at the Gallatin R-5 Middle School Friday… just in time for pie! Barron Gann, summer school administrator, arranges the treat for those students who record perfect attendance for the week. Mr. Gann drew eight names and those students get to deliver a pie to the volunteers. Usually the volunteers are teachers. But Friday, Gallatin policemen happened to be available. Delivering the pies are Rebekah Flanders and Jalyn Taylor. Yesterday, June 27, was the last day of summer school. Students went to Chilli Bay Water Park at Chillicothe to celebrate. [submitted photo]
