10 Ways to Be a Good Safety Patrol #ReeseWrites

Monday, October 7, 2013 by Reese 15 Comments

 

I’d like to introduce you to my newest writer at Better in Bulk – my 10 year old daughter, Reese, who just happens to know a LOT about being a good safety patrol.

ReeseWrites How to be a good safety patrol

Reese has been eager to start blogging like me (she is an awesome writer of fiction, and I might just convince her to share some of her short stories here in the future) and today we took the plunge, showed her the ropes around here, gave her a few topics to chose from and started #ReeseWrites.

As a 5th grade patrol with duties before and after school, Reese’s main responsibility is to make sure that the younger kids who are walking to school and back home each day get where they need to go safely. She was one of the first patrols in her grade to pass off the patrol certification, and she is passionate about being a good patrol!

Now it’s time to turn the time over to Reese:

How to be a good safety patrol

Being a patrol can be tough sometimes because you have to get up early every day and leave on time to get to post before the other kids start walking to school. Being a patrol can also be so much fun because you get to see some of your friends and spend 20-25 minutes with them in the morning and afternoon. You also get to miss a little bit of class!

I personally think that being a patrol is both tough and easy, but I really just like to laugh and have a good time. Being a patrol makes me happy, and I hope I can make other people be happy and safe. I like being a patrol and hope that the time won’t pass by too quickly because it’s really fun.

Here are some tips for being a good safety patrol:

10 ways to be a good patrol

  1. Always show up to post on time
  2. Do all of your regular duties and anything else the adult crossing guard asks you to do
  3. Be nice to the people around you
  4. Demonstrate responsibility to the younger kids (be a good example and do what you want them to do)
  5. Respect the school building and remind other students to, too
  6. Don’t be loud or too silly
  7. Never let kids cross the street by themselves
  8. Do your part to prevent accidents and help kids when they need help
  9. Pay attention to what’s going on around you
  10. Wear your belt and badge proudly (remember that other kids are watching you)

Were you ever a safety patrol?

PS: Just like my mom, Lolli, “Reese” is my nickname on the blog, just to be safe. I love the internet but Mom always reminds me to be safe and not give out too much information!

    Reese!!!
    Love your post! You are a great patrol. I cannot wait to see what you accomplish as an officer! I just had a great idea. We’ll talk Monday about a special assignment I think you’ll be interested in.

    Hugs,

    I loved safety patrol. Bring on the orange sash! Both my sons (10 and 8) just started their own blogs (shameless plug and cute photo here: https://www.dirtandnoise.com/2013/10/my-boys-blog.html) so yeah for Reese! I love that kids are using their voices and sharing their insights.

    I wanted to be in the safety patrol when I was in elementary school so that I could get out of class early! It is nice to know that you’re taking your job so seriously! Keep up the good work. :)

    What a great first post! I think I did safety patrol way back then too.

    Great tips Reese! We didn’t have this back when I was your age but can see where it is important.

    Alas, I was never a safety patrol – that job was reserved for adults in my school; but I did get to be line leader often! That was a big responsibility in my school. The enumerated list of characteristics for a good safety patrol is priceless. Great post.

    Reese – This is a great first post! I was on the safety patrol when I was in the 5th grade – I loved it! I think your tip of ‘wear your badge and belt proudly’ is so important – you are a role model to other kids at school.

    I’m excited to read more of your posts!

    I think we called the position something different (I forget what?) but I had a similar role in 3rd grade – it was so fun because we got to leave class a bit early and it’s a great way to keep things organized and everyone safe.
