2024 Lebanon Valley Year of the Arts – The Lebanon City Police Department was excited to celebrate 2024 Lebanon Valley Year of the Arts by bringing vibrant artwork from the community to the police department, starting with the children who attended this year’s National Night Out. From ages 2 to 12, they created their designs with markers, from police cars to happy little self-portraits! Lebanon High School’s art teacher, Mr. Topping, had high school students create their designs with paint. Oh, what stunning pieces of artwork they created for the police department. It was a tough decision! But Lebanon City Mayor Sherry Capello voted one from each section to display on two patrol vehicles — from National Night Out: Riley, age 11, and from LHS: Aryam Skerett Navarro, 10th grade. All other license plates are now displayed in the police station lobby. The police department wants to thank everyone who helped them with this project and shared their artwork with the community!
