Thank you school crossing guards
December 17, 2014 · 0 Comments
From early September to late June, there is that undistinguished person that is out on the streets during the school year connecting with the youth of the community and trying to make a difference.
This person is the school crossing guard.
People making their way around their community will either see them at their posts or will have to stop for pedestrians being assisted by the local School Crossing Guard. They are out there every weekday at morning arrivals, lunch time hours and afternoon departures (except on snow days) near the local schools, either elementary or secondary. Be it a man or a woman standing in all kinds of weather, they are out there making sure that our children get on their way to school or home safely.
Shelburne Police would like to remind motorists travelling through school zones to be extra vigilant and mindful of, not only the school buses, but for those students that walk to and from their schools who require the assistance of the School Crossing Guard. School zones normally have a reduced speed limit as well.
Shelburne Police Service would like to extend a gracious thank-you to these people who take the time to become involved and participate in community safety.
