Burnet ES teacher comes to the rescue of a crossing guard
This week’s Shout-Out goes to Erica Gil (pictured), a teacher at Burnet Elementary School who leapt into action when she saw a motorist attacking a crossing guard at the Ninfa Laurenzo Early Childhood Center. Erica came to the crossing guard’s aid by literally stepping in front of a car to stop the suspect. Erica was recognized for her courageous act on Nov. 8, when she was presented with a Heroism Award during a special ceremony held at the HISD Police Department.
Other Shout-Outs this week go to:
