Ernie

Those kids who walk to school will already know Ernie, the new crossing guard on Pharmacy at Knightsbridge. This morning, as I was walking back from dropping my son at school, Ernie stopped me. "Catharine! Look what the principal brought me!" Excited, he showed me an enormous hand-made welcome card, signed by all the kids at school. "I'm so happy," he beamed, the joy written across his face. I don't know whose idea this was, but it was a great one. It's things like this that make Clairlea the wonderful community that it is. p.s. That's right, Ernie knows my name - and the kids' names, too. If you haven't already, do introduce yourself as you pass by.
