Apache Elementary School students have two Cochise County Sheriff Assist Team (SAT) members they look forward to seeing.
For seventh grader Levi Long, having the SAT members on school grounds adds a sense of security to him and his classmates. His favorite part is when they bring treats for the students in the one-room school house. But for Head Teacher Loy Ann Guzman and Instructional Aid Frank Zepeda having Dan Long and Jim Valhovich around is the treat.
Long and Valhovich responded to the school to help fix the broken radio, but instead of simply fixing the radio they found 12 reasons to keep coming back. The school serves 12 students in the Portal, Ariz. area and is in the middle of"nowhere." Guzman who lives in the teacher's house says it's like living on the prairie because of how far out it is. The school is located 40 miles from Douglas and seven mile from the Arizona-New Mexico border.
“They would come to the school fence," Guzman said."They would come to the gate and come to my door and they would turn the door. And they would say ‘hello. Hello.' wanting something.”
