Welcome back to School Norwich
Norman and I welcome you back and look forward to crossing you safely.
This photo was taken by me on August 29, 2018, just before my crossing guard shift was to start. I looked to the left and just couldn’t believe my eyes. A short while later it was cloudy again. I wonder what it will look like tomorrow morning. It is the first day of school and Norman and I will be at our crossing guard stations to greet the parents and kids as they arrive and most importantly cross them safely .

This sign will remind you that you must stop when someone is crossing in a crosswalk. The next photo will show the newly painted crosswalk in front of the Town Hall.

Please take a moment and press the button on the traffic light pole so you can cross safely.

Newly painted road markings should make it easier for both pedestrians and drivers.
