Mr. Skaza is an amazing crossing guard! He has been a crossing guard at Three Oaks Elementary for many years. Mr. Skaza takes pride in his role at our school by ensuring the safety of our students and parents walking to and from school.
Mrs. Ruhl, who is 89 years young, has been a crossing guard for over 11 years! Her love for "her" kids as she calls them has gotten her up and going every morning and back to Foothill School every afternoon each week. Past students come by the school just to say hi, give her a hug, and let her know how much they appreciate her. Mrs. Ruhl just retired this September, and she is so grateful for her time with the kids and great families she has met over the years.
By popular vote, "Mr. Bob" is hands down America's Favorite Crossing Guard. In any kind of weather, students will find him ready and waiting to take them across the state highway 28 towards Van Derveer Elementary School. Mr. England arrives early and stays passed his call of duty so that he can assure that all parents and students have a safe arrival to and from school. Mr. England goes beyond making sure our students are safe. He also makes sure the sidewalks are swept, leaves are raked and ice is cleared on a blustery day. None of those responsibilities are in his job description.
I am thrilled to be able to tell you about our school crossing guard Mrs. Robertson. You will never meet a more positive and encouraging staff member than her. Despite some recent difficulties in her own life including the death of her husband and some health issues for her, Mrs. Robertson is a shining light for the children at Carpenter. Mrs. Robertson goes above and beyond each and every day. She uses her own limited resources to help feed and clothe children in our building.
Mr. O'Brien is a crossing guard at Scenic Hills Elementary School. He has held this position for over five years but recently has had to take a break from being a crossing guard because he has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Mr. O'Brien has always struggled with health related issues but the cancer has ultimately made him extremely weak but despite the struggles he is encountering, he plans on returning to his crossing guard duty once he is healthy.
Ms. Gale is out in the morning at 7:45 rain or shine. Cold or Heat. She's got her umbrella as she helps kids cross the street. While she is not working on assigned duties she volunteers her time (unpaid!) in the classrooms reading to kindergartners.
Also, throughout the year she buys stickers and puts packs of stickers in teacher's mailboxes. For Christmas, she bought each of my student's a coloring book, pencil and eraser from The Dollar Tree. She's just super-d-duper wonderful crossing guard!
Mr. Brown not only loves our kids, he supports deaf camp, the humane shelter and Miracle Tree for kids at Christmas. Mr. Brown hands out treats on the last day of school and loves to dress up for any holiday!
Mr. Brown is an integral part of our community and we are proud to have him! Mr. Brown doesn't know a stranger and always has a smile and a wave for anyone.
Mr. Niederklopfer has been with Edmunds Elementary School for 9 years, or longer. He is a dedicated and committed crossing guard. I don't believe he has ever missed a day in the four years I have worked with him.
As you go down that wish list, make sure you know what toy recalls have been made in 2017.
