Beginning September 2018,
I was invited by Whitewater Township to be a casual crossing guard at Cobden Public School.
What a gift it was each morning and/or afternoon to be greeted by the students who were walkers.
I so enjoyed their conversations and witnessed always respectful behaviour.
I invited each to call me Margie as we introduced ourselves .
Some of them asked if they could call me nanna, since they knew I was a nana to two of the walkers. That was a welcomed question and thus I was blessed with additional grand ones.
Because of health issues, I will not be returning this September.
I will miss being there.
THANK YOU walking students for bringing moments of delight to each day.
and to our Township for offering me this opportunity of Community Service.
“It does take a village to raise a child.”
Sincerely
Margie Patterson
Editor: Thank you for your effort and service, Margie, and we wish you well.
