NI Issues: Where can I find information on Crossing Guard Appreciation Day 2010?
A. Crossing Guard Appreciation Day is May 4, 2010. You can find the proclamation HERE . Consider doing something special for your crossing guards today, whether it is providing them with a cup of coffee or cold drink or providing them with a thank you letter, similar to what the Chicago Department of Transportation has provided in the past. An example of the letter they provided, written by a student, is available HERE . HERE is an example of a great press release from Hinsdale, sharing all of their great activities. Other ideas, suggested by the Active Transportation Alliance in Chicago, include: Write a thank you note Draw a picture of you and your crossing guard Respect the crossing guard’s authority Bring them flowers from your garden Pay attention when driving through the intersection Introduce yourself Smile! Wave! Wish them a Happy Crossing Guard Appreciation Day Think of a fun and meaningful way to say THANKS!
