Kindness for the Crossing Guards

--by gardengal10, posted Nov 29, 2022

I took my morning walk and gave the crossing guards at the elementary school some chocolate made at a local shop. They are caring, delightful individuals who stand on the corners of the school in all types of weather. They stop traffic for me, too! I also notified one of my fellow retirees of the death of a substitute teacher that worked at our high school. My fellow retiree sends out notifications of retiree illnesses and deaths. Usually, he would not post something like this because this person was not a full-time employee. Much to my pleasant surprise, he did post this along with a beautiful tribute to all substitute teachers. As the former substitute coordinator, I can tell you how valuable their services are. While I could schedule some in advance, many would be called on the morning of a teacher's absence. They always came through and were an asset to our school community.
