At their meeting on Tuesday, September 7, the Brea City Council approved the funds to cover the costs of crossing guards for Arovista, Country Hills, Fanning, and Laurel Elementary School for the 2010-11 school year.  Crossing guards will be present at the following locations beginning Thursday, September 9, at the normal times:

•     Arovista Avenue and Eadington Drive
•     Imperial Hwy. and Brea Blvd.
•     Flower Avenue and Birch Street
•     State College and Cliffwood Avenue
•     Associated Road and Sleepy Hollow Lane

A special thanks to our Board of Education, the Brea City Council, District Office staff, and City executive staff for helping to resolve this issue.  While the future of the crossing guard program is uncertain after the end of this school year, we are pleased to report that crossing guards will be available this year to assist our students who walk or ride their bikes to and from school.  All students walking or riding their bikes should still remember to use safe habits and routes to and from school.
