February 19th-23rd, 2024 has been declared Adult School Crossing Guard Recognition Week. 

This is a time to recognize and thank the many school crossing guards whose commitment makes a difference in the lives of children in Wisconsin’s schools.

Franklin's Crossing Guard is:

LAKESIDE ST/ROWELL - JOHN RIDER 

Randall's Crossing Guards are:

SPOONER ST/REGENT ST - JAN PEPPER 

GRANT ST/MONROE ST - PETE DALY 

HIGHLAND AVE/REGENT - EUNICE PICKENS 

COMMONWEALTH/ALLEN - TERRY TAPPY  

EDGEWOOD/MONROE - CECE SMITH

Ideas for a meaningful recognition include:

• Have your students create special "thank you" cards for the crossing guards from your school

• Donate a small token of appreciation for each guard (pocket hand warmers, a cookie, a thank-you card, etc.).

• Encourage your students to give their crossing guards a big smile and thank you.

It is Bus Driver Appreciation Day on Thursday - February 22!

This commemorative day recognizes all school transportation personnel who are involved in the highest standards of safe practices to assure the protection of their passengers, our state’s most precious cargo.

The Wisconsin School Bus Association, through its Board of Directors, pledges its full and dedicated cooperation with the Department of Transportation’s Office of Transportation Safety, Division of Motor Vehicles, State Patrol, the Traffic Safety Council, the Department of Public Instruction, schools, law enforcement agencies, PTAs, CESAs, and other organizations in promoting public awareness of the importance of school bus transportation.

In Wisconsin, there are more than 12,000 school bus drivers who safely transport more than 400,000 students to and from school each school day and travel a total average of 144 million miles a year.

School Bus Driver Appreciation Week is an excellent opportunity for parents, students, teachers, motorists, school bus operations, school administrators, and other interested parties to show their appreciation to school bus drivers. These drivers are true heroes ensuring Wisconsin’s students have a safe and reliable ride to school and home every day.
