Our children's safety comes first! For many years we have had a crossing guard(s) at the intersection of South Street and Virginia Ave. This is for the safety of children crossing the intersection to attend Mark Keppel Visual and Performin Arts Magnet Elementary. The entrance to the school is on Virginia Ave, whether by car or walking. This is the ONLY route to take to drive and drop off children to school. All vehicles MUST go North on Virginia Ave in order to arrive at school. We are petitioning to have our crossing guards restored for our children's safety, both for driver's and walkers.

The traffic at the intersection remains chaotic during drop-off hours. I am currently coordinating with local officials to demand a permanent solution.

The momentum is incredible. This shows how much we all care about keeping our children safe.

Saw a car blow right through there at 8am. Totally dangerous. Why did they get rid of them in the first place???

My niece walks that way. I dont let her go alone anymore because people drive way too fast.

If you have signed the petition on paper you do no need to sign this online petition. Since it would be impossible for me to reach every parent at school it was suggested to me that I do both a paper and online position. Thank you fr signing and please share.

Check the reply on Keppel's FB. That is what I was told also.

Does anyone even know WHY there aren't any crossing guards?
