Crossing Guard Appreciation Week is November 10–14!🦺🦺🦺🦺
Next week, we’re celebrating the everyday heroes who help keep our students safe—our amazing crossing guards! Crossing Guard Appreciation Week begins November 10, and it’s the perfect time to thank the friendly faces who guide families safely across our busy streets each day.
To kick things off, we’ll have sidewalk chalk available on Sunday afternoon so families can stop by and write colorful thank-you messages on the sidewalks near school. Just look for the small colorful buckets. Then, join us for a special Walk & Roll to School Day on Wednesday, November 12—walk, bike, or roll to school and share a thank you note or picture with our crossing guards along the way.
Let’s make this week a fun and heartfelt reminder of how important our crossing guards are to our school community!
Some of our beloved guards are pictured below (l to r): Mr. Joe, Ms. Carolyn, Mr. Jack, Mr. Arthur, Mr. Donald, Ms. Betty, Ms. Cindy, Ms. Lesie, and Ms. Allene.
