II.1. Wisconsin's Adult School Crossing Guard Recognition Week
Description:
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has declared this week, January 12 - 16, 2015, Adult School Crossing Guard Recognition Week in the State of Wisconsin. Tonight we recognize David Holz. Through wind or rain, ice or snow, sun and heat, crossing guards show up at their assigned crossings to assist students in their journeys to or from school. The lifesaving service chool crossing guards provide in our communities often goes unnoticed. As an advocate for safety, Mineral Point Unified School District is proud to show our appreciation for David's efforts and edication today & every day.
