The number one concern for elementary school moms is the reassurance of their child’s safety—whether it be looking both ways before crossing the street or just walking their child to their classroom. So just how can every student’s safety be guaranteed and a mother be given a peace of mind?
The CCA Safety Patrol team has devoted their time to making sure their fellow students are safe and sound. The Safety Patrols are made up of twenty to twenty-five students depending on how many participate each quarter. In order to be given this position of prestige, students must be 5th graders and write a special essay in which they explain their heart behind being a patrol. Once that is done, the final decisions are made by the 5th grade teachers.
To be chosen as a safety patrol, a student should demonstrate specific traits and characteristics that distinguish them from the rest of their class. Some of these traits include Christian character, a servant’s heart, maturity, good grades, punctuality, wisdom, and sound judgment to perform the duties.
The Safety Patrol team reports to their base at 7:30am when they open car doors for students, patrol the kids on the playground, and walk them to the playground before 7:50am.
The afternoon team begins their shift at 2:10pm and finishes at 3:20pm. During this time, they bring small children from the sibling room and take them to their spots so they can be picked up by their parents. They also help the kids by opening up the car doors for them and helping them into the cars.
These shining Safety Patrol stars truly have a heart to serve the Lord and to protect His children. Thanks to these chosen few, CCA students are not only carefully protected, but also guided by the godly leadership which each safety patrol clearly demonstrates.
