PHILADELPHIA- Philadelphia Front Page News: School kids need to feel safe walking to and from school. Often times students' lives become at risk even when a crossing guard is posted at an intersection and is standing on the corner watching all the adults and children walk past.
Roger Robbie, the Hip Hop Raccoon, is about to join all the daily excitement involved in crossing guard duty.
Lots of kids who are very familiar with Roger Robbie recognize that drawings about road safety to a nearby school and training methods to be alert when watching crosswalk signs means less dodging traffic on busy streets.
New drawings of Roger Robbie are in the works to help safety advocates share fun information about crossing guards blowing whistles, stopping traffic, and directing students to make sure everyone gets to school safely.
Richard Gibson, Philadelphia’s photographer-artist, has taken the helm in helping to illustrate the new Roger Robbie with crossing guard equipment.
Roger Robbie will be in illustrations showing helpful crossing guards holding stop signs and crossing children walking with their parents; stopping and directing traffic, too.
Roger Robbie safety drawings will help remind friends how kids can become crossing guards as well as being always prepared to continue to show up each day and help city and borough students cross busy roads.
Like school officials, city officials, law enforcement officers, and parents, Roger Robbie supports safety programs across the nation because crossing guards are our community’s eyes and ears watching the streets and traffic sign - mornings and afternoons.
