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!
