Rain, snow or shine, the crossing guards at elementary schools across the district protect our scholars every day, helping them to arrive safely at school and when leaving at the end of the day. At Rush Creek Elementary School, the crossing guards work in the back of the building and in a nearby neighborhood, keeping students safe from buses and cars and giving them a safe way to get to and from school!


“I like that you get to hold out the flag, and all the buses will stop,” said fifth grader Grant Ambrosia. “It is fun to be a crossing guard because we get a field trip at the end of the year, we get hot chocolate on cold days and we get a special square in the yearbook!”
