Proclaim the Month of November School Crossing Guard Appreciation Month in the State of New Jersey

Being a School Crossing Guard is a thankless job.In spite of enduring the elements of the weather, school crossing guards have to put up with the verbal abuse from motorists who fail to stop, thereby placing the children lives in danger as well as the School Crossing Guards who have lost their lives putting themself in harms way.

Why is this important?

School Crossing Guards are a vital and integral part of our educational system and of the daily lives of children protecting them as they go to school and home, also our elderly citizens as they go about their daily lives and anyone else in need of assistance.
