Safety Duty

At the end of the year in fourth grade, you can apply to be a safety for your fifth grade year. Most kids (William included) really want to be a safety. In the fall, the fifth graders also spend two nights at Sherman Lake Camp as a class. While they are gone, a few fourth graders get picked to fill in for them. Will was among the seven kids in his class chosen - he was so excited! His teacher said they chose responsible kids, who do their work, and follow the rules. Today was his first day. He is responsible for four Kindergartners and has to get them on to their bus at the end of the day. Today, he picked them up from the art room. On Tuesday he will get them in the classroom and on Wednesday they will be in gym. He did a good job keeping them together today. Two of the girls in his group were the younger siblings of two of his buddies (and baseball teammates) so they recognized him. Will is hopeful that this experience will help him get a position next year.
