Letter: School district thanks its crossing guards

The Carson City School District would like to thank all the crossing guards at the schools in Carson City for their commitment in helping keep students safe. Every school day, rain, snow, sleet or shine, these highly dedicated individuals serve as ambassadors for schools, and for many parents, the only interaction they have with their child’s school.

Crossing guards not only assist students to cross the street safely, but they also often help set the tone and attitude for students, parents and employees each day. They are real heroes and provide an invaluable service to the community. Their smiles are contagious. Their simple message is clear: Stop. Be cautious. Be kind.

Above it all, they know each and every child, usually by name, who crosses their path twice daily. If you haven’t already, please stop and thank a crossing guard.
