A crossing guard who makes a difference and helps kids with special needs is honored for Feel Good Friday

EastIdahoNews.com is partnering with Ashley and Ashley Outlet of Idaho Falls to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.
We received an email several months ago about a crossing guard who is making a difference in the community. It said:
“I don’t know this person by name, but I feel like I know her by her actions. Every morning, rain or shine, hail or wind, she shows up at Sandcreek Middle School with a smile. She is the crossing guard, yes, but she does so much more. Every morning, she greets EACH child with knuckles, a smile, and a cheery, ‘Have a good day!’ Middle school is hard, but she is a bright light to these children, making them feel loved and seen. I don’t think she understands the impact she is having on these young impressionable kids. I’ve never talked to her, only watched from my car, but that is enough for me! I can feel her love and goodness. Please thank her for being so amazing!!!”
We found out the crossguard’s name is Sheri and she also works as a paraprofessional helping students with special needs at Sandcreek. We knew we had to surprise her for Feel Good Friday – check it out in the video player above!
Feel Good Friday is sponsored by Ashley and Ashley Outlet in Idaho Falls, where we are committed to being your trusted partner and style leader for the home. Ashley also seeks to inspire the love of home and enrich others' lives.
