Dani the crossing guard


This week Dani has crossing guard duty for school. There's good and bad in that. On the good side, as I'm sure Dani would love to explain, you miss a lot of class. Each week 8 kids from the 6th grade are on crossing guard duty and they spread out to 3 or four big intersections near the school. Dani got one of the intersections that is not so close to school -- that's a good thing if you want to miss class.

Dani has to get to school at 7:25 instead of 8:00. There he grabs a stop sign on a stick and walks with 3 buddies to the corner of Hefetz Hayim and Hahayil. At about 8:05 after the first bell has rung, its time to head to school. Then in the afternoon, since school lets out at different times, he has crossing duty from 12:40 until 1:05, and also from 1:25 until 1:45 -- and his school day doesn't end until 2:15, so you can imagine there is not too much learning happening after 12:40.

Today Dena and Miriam went to check up on Dani. He was doing a great job!
