Sep 10, 2024 The school bus is disappearing. Welcome to the era of the school pickup line. What a depressing milestone: most kids are now driven to and from school by private vehicles. So glad I live in a place where both my kids can now walk, bike, or scooter to school. I’m specially thankful for the many crossing guards who volunteer rain or shine to help make sure they get there safely. Interested in becoming a crossing guard? Please get in touch!
