When I go through the car line, I see Mr. Todd Laslo supervising the children as they get out of their cars and walk inside the school. Laslo is the head of security at GCA. As a security guard he patrols to make sure the campus is safe. His job is his calling, he said. His faith comes first in all he does.
Earlier in the year, I went to a school spirit night at The Cantina and there, I was chosen in the raffle to shadow Mr. Todd. I was able to spend a few hours with him, seeing what he does on the job. We went around the campus. He taught me about concealment and cover. Cover means to be behind someone to protect you, and concealment is hiding, but you’re not covered. While with him, I got to use the radio. I said, “Alpha 2,” because he is Alpha 1. I said, “Alpha 2, preschool secure. Main building secure. Lobby secure.”
For lunch, Mr. Todd likes to eat cottage cheese and apples with crackers. He is health conscious and also likes to do CrossFit. In addition to his work for the school, he sometimes helps with security for other events with Generations Christian Church. His wife is the assistant to the senior pastor, and they attend church regularly.
On my shadow day, Mr. Todd talked to me about my hobbies, and what I like to do. He shared his hobbies, too. He is a very talented creative artist, who paints canvases with amazing characters from pop culture such as Marvel and DC.

He is a cool, funny guy, but he is also very efficient at his job. He is responsible and takes his role seriously. But he also truly cares about the people he protects! Thank you for all you do, Mr. Todd!
