Today, CBSD celebrated Walk or Roll to School Day—a reminder of the importance of safe, active routes to school.

We are especially grateful for our crossing guards, who show up each day to help our students and families safely get to and from school. Their care, attention, and presence make a meaningful difference in our community.

Pedestrian safety is a shared responsibility. Whether you are walking, biking, driving, or rolling through town, please stay alert, slow down near schools and crosswalks, follow traffic laws, use designated crossings, and always follow the directions of crossing guards.

Thank you to our crossing guards for helping keep our Crimson Tide students and families safe every day! ❤️💛
