Chicago Public Schools Celebrates Crossing Guard Appreciation Month

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) officials honored more than 700 crossing guards at Malcolm X College who play a vital role in ensuring students traverse busy intersections safely and help with the security of students as they arrive and leave school premises. Crossing Guard Appreciation Day is observed annually each May in Illinois, recognizing the contributions of our crossing guards in keeping students and other pedestrians safe as they commute to and from school.
