🚸 Last week we celebrated National Crossing Guard Appreciation Day and we are thrilled to share that two of our crossing guards have been named 2023’s Most Outstanding Crossing Guards! 🎉
Congratulations to Gloria Query, from Crestwood Middle and Treakle Elementary, and Barbara Beniamino from Butts Road Intermediate and Butts Road Primary. They are only two of six crossing guards in the state to be awarded this honor. Thank you and all of our crossing guards for keeping our students safe every day and making a positive impact in our community!
