Safety Champions

Dear Johnnie Cochran School Community,

This is Principal Grant with an important safety message.

As we close out the year, I want to encourage everyone to continue looking out for one another during our walks, rides, and drives to and from school. The colder winter weather can create slippery or low-visibility conditions, so please remember to slow down, stay alert, and use extra caution near our campus.

This month, we also want to recognize and appreciate all of our Safety Champions: the crossing guards, parents, school staff, B2G, bus drivers, volunteers, and students who work together each day to help keep our streets safe.

Thank you for your continued commitment to traffic and pedestrian safety. Your efforts make a real difference in our school community.

 Let’s make this holiday season joyful, safe, and filled with gratitude.

 Happy Holidays!
