The Lightning Rods! (Bad Weather Safety Patrol):
Our Safety Patrol is made up of wonderful 5th grade students! On certain days it's not safe for these kids to be outside in the elements like during rainstorms (with thunder/lightning) and when it's really cold (near freezing). This is the day for our Lightning Rods to SHOW UP and save the day! Be a part of a text group and we will signal you for help to jump on the line to open car doors and see our young ones to safety. Will need Rainy day equipment and cold weather jackets. Help us keep the staff from having to jump on the line. Once you sign up we will contact you with details.
