SISD crossing guard, Debbie Burnett, was among six crossing guards recognized at the Frisco Roughriders baseball game on April 17 during their Crossing Guard Appreciation event. She was invited to participate in their High Five Alley and to be on the field during the singing of the "The Star Spangled Banner." The Roughriders gave Burnett four tickets; she took her husband and two grandkids to celebrate her night and enjoy the game. Congratulations, and thank you for keeping SISD students safe, Debbie!
