Schools across the Denver metro area celebrated Walk and Roll to School Day on Wednesday. The goal is to raise awareness of the need for crossing guards and highlight the benefits of walking and rolling to class.
For a day, more than 40 local celebrities shadowed crossing guards at Denver Public Schools, including CBS News Colorado’s Mekialaya White at Swansea Elementary School and Justin Adams at Morey Middle School.
Every single day, Swansea’s Dean of Culture Ryan Bailey makes a difference in kids’ lives while serving his community.
“Buenos días, good morning!” Bailey greets each family warmly with a smile and high five as they approach the school.
“It really fun to be a part of,” he said. “We very intentionally stand in front of school and welcome every kid we can by name. There’s about 400 of them.”
