I like being a Safety Patron person because you feel like you are making a difference. Little kids look up to you because you help them a lot. When you get into college, you can qualify for a scholarship, if you have prooof that you were a Safety Patroller. Safety Patrol is a lot of fun. ...By Sam G.

I like Safety Patrol because it makes you feel like a hero, especially when you stop someone from getting hit by a bus. Being on Safety Patrol helps me to have a good reputation. Every Friday we switch positions. The captain writes the positions down weekly or the lieutenant if the captain is sick. Ms. Chris chooses a captain and lieutenant monthly. We all get our turns to be these offices. ... by Jessica R.

Safety Patrol

The Safety Patrol Program has been reinstated at Onekama School, and it's a success. The Safety Patrollers are both responsible and independent. In the morning they watch buses and crosswalks. They start morning patrol at 7:45 AM. The afternoon group starts at 2:50 PM. They do not complain about having to get out of school 10 minutes early! They say it is just their duty. We think the Safety Patrol is a good addition to our school.
