At the March 16, 2011 Board Meeting, the Board of Education recognized Fontana's Crossing Guards of the Year, Carol Ybarra and Roberto Borroto.

Carol (in photo at left, with Chief Bob Ratcliffe) is the crossing guard at Binks Elementary School in north Fontana.  Roberto, who was unable to attend last night's Board Meeting, is the crossing guard at Poplar Elementary School in south Fontana.

The City of Fontana contracts All City Management to provide crossing guard services.  Each year All City Management selects the crossing guards of the year in communities throughout the state in order to bring attention to the important work done by all crossing guards.

Every school day, crossing guards like Carol and Roberto are out in force throughout the city of Fontana.  The safety of our students is vital and school crossing guards are a highly visible presence at busy intersections at and near school zones.  With a neon vest, stop sign, and a whistle, crossing guards make sure children coming to and leaving school cross the road safely.
