Thank you Santa Cruz City Crossing Guards for walking children safely across streets to and from school, twice a day, every day.
Today, City Council and Santa Cruz Police Department proudly commend our Santa Cruz City Crossing Guards. Richard W. Bartlett, Jerry A. Cacace, Antonio Tovar, Stephen A. Fuehrer, Gail Marizette, Christine Nordquist Welch, Mark Steven Okamoto, William Poncetta, and Debra L. Stephens
Your dedication and enthusiasm play a pivotal role in the daily lives of our children. You are the first line of education for the kids and parents and a visible reminder to motorists of the presence of pedestrians and bicyclists.
Your commitment and reliability are deeply appreciated by all Police Department personnel, the City of Santa Cruz and the Santa Cruz School District.
On behalf of the residents of this community and your fellow city employees, we want to thank you for your vigilance in ensuring student safety around our schools.
Please join us in a big thank you to our Santa Cruz School Crossing Guards for keeping our children safe in crosswalks this school year. Every morning and every afternoon on school days, our Crossing Guards are posted on busy school crosswalks making sure children and families cross the street and get to school safe and sound.
The school year ends on Thursday June 11th. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our Crossing Guard team, we have enjoyed an incident free school year.
Before school is out …when you see our School Crossing Guards, please give them a wave or thumbs up to show your appreciation and support for the work they do.
Santa Cruz City Crossing Guards brave the elements be it chilling rain, the blazing sun or distracted drivers during the school year. The Santa Cruz Police Department has 10 Crossing Guards posted at 4 elementary school sites.
This is Sandi Sand. She is adored by many Delaveaga Elementary students and families. Sandi just retired her post at Prospect Heights and Morrissey.
Here is Jerry Cacace in action near Bayview Elementary. You will find him posted at the intersection of Bay and Seaside Streets. Jerry is a dedicated professional to all who pass through his crossing station.
“Our jobs are vital to the safety, not only for school children, but anyone on foot and all traffic passing through those intersections. The bonus is the reward in seeing the smiles on people's faces and knowing they can walk or bike safely to and from school” said Mr. Cacace
The Santa Cruz Police Department and Santa Cruz families rely on all of our Crossing Guards every school day. Thank you to all our Crossing Guards. We very much appreciate your good work.
