Ray’s Surprise Retirement Parade

Posted on December 20, 2014 | Comments Off on Ray’s Surprise Retirement Parade

Yesterday, Ray Monckton retired. Most of us know him simply as ‘Ray’ and, for almost all, he is the only crossing guard they ever knew. Ray spent 10 years as a crossing guard at Gledhill and Danforth and will be remembered for his friendly words, his ever present smile and his great knowledge of our children’s names. He ensured our children’s safety at a very busy intersection and did so in a caring and conscientious manner.

To celebrate the occasion, Gledhill parent Jessica Schmiedchen organized a flashmob parade. At a pre-determined time, 100s of Gledhill students and parents descended upon the corner of Gledhill and Danforth to wish Ray farewell. Parents expressed their appreciation and students presented Ray with handmade cards of thanks and best wishes. Thanks to all of the Gledhill school community members who came out to celebrate, City Councillors Janet Davis and Mary Margaret McMahon and the parents with the sound system on a cart!

Congratulations Ray! You will be missed.

Friday is Ray Day!

A reminder for tomorrow morning:

gledhillguardian's avatarThe Gledhill Guardian

Ray the Crossing Guard is retiring. Come out and help send him off with a SURPRISE THANK YOU PARADE! On Friday, December 19th at 8:15am we will meet in two secret spots. Join us at either the corner of Keystone and Patricia, or Oak Park just north of Danforth (out of Ray’s sight!). Come prepared to make some noise – bring noisemakers, homemade instruments, whatever may be in your toy box! Have your child write a letter to Ray, create a card, draw a picture, make a sign – ideally every child has something to hand over to Ray. At 8:20am, the music will begin and we will parade en masse, cheering for Ray, dancing up a storm. One by one, the kids will line up and say thank you and give him their card/letter/drawing. Parents too! After all, this is the man who jumps in front of cars every day…
