On Friday, June 11th, we will show our crossing guards and bus and van drivers how much we appreciate their help getting to school safely.  They have been with us through the pandemic, shifting schedules multiple times and keeping us safe throughout.

Please help your child make a thank you note and give it on your way to school on Friday, June 11th to your crossing guard or write a note to your bus driver.  Your note can be simple: “Thanks for helping me get to school safely!”  You can also print out a card to decorate.  They will appreciate it so much!

Newton Safe Routes to School will organize celebrations with pre-packaged snacks and drinks and Safety Superhero buttons at both the van yard and the bus yard for the 130 bus/van drivers, and will distribute flowers and buttons to the 56 crossing guards spread across the City.
