Slooooow down y’all!! Going 15mph in school zones doesn’t cost much time but can cost a lot of money when you’re caught! 🚔 👀 Slow down, the kids are worth it!! ❤️

Talk about no regard for child safety! This was in the school zone for JFK Middle.

Please join us in commending Ardenah Washington at Meigs Middle Magnet School for receiving the Guard of the Month Award for March 2026. 🎉 Ms. Washington demonstrated exceptional dedication to her duties after witnessing a fatal collision recently while en route to her post. Despite being a witness to such a tragic event, Ms. Washington promptly took charge by securing the scene and diverting traffic away from the crash until police and fire personnel arrived. Her outstanding service and commitment make her a model crossing guard, and we are truly fortunate to have her on our team. Congratulations and thank you, Ardenah! 🥇
