Crossing Guard Appreciation Program
C-U SRTS Project has created a Crossing Guard Appreciation program to recognize the hard work adults in our community do to help ensure the safety of our children getting to and from school. Schools in Champaign-Urbana can nominate their crossing guard for this appreciation program. Winners are selected each month through the year and receive a Certificate of Appreciation and a gift card to a local restaurant.
