The event recognizes the vital role patrollers play in keeping school zones safe by helping students at crosswalks on their way to and from school, says Allison Purcell with AMA School Safety Patrol.

“It’s certainly a longstanding history to have this appreciation event,” said Purcell. “It’s great to have the Hurricanes come out and recognize the work that our patrollers do on our crosswalks as well.”
