Four Chicagoans win CPS Crossing Guard of the Year award
Chicago crossing guards across the city are being recognized by Chicago Public Schools for their efforts to keep students safe during their walk to class.
Wright has been a crossing guard for the past seven years. The inspiration comes from her grandmother and mother, who are both crossing guards. "When she's out here crossing the students, she's able to redirect them if they're jaywalking. So she's making it a habit for them," said Karen Yeatman, Crossing Guard Supervisor for the far South Side region.
"You see how the cars, sometimes they don't stop. They keep going. They don't stop at the stop sign all the time," noted LaToya Jackson, whose child attends Fuller Elementary School.
