chicago crossing guard

Tammy Anderson isn’t just a crossing guard for Beasley Academic Center in the Washington Park Neighborhood. She’s a neighborhood staple.

While en route to another story, NBC 5 photographer George Mycyk noticed a particularly jubilant crossing guard dancing while directing traffic outside Edward Beasley Academic Center, garnering plenty of praise from the drivers passing her by. Tammy Anderson said she has been a Chicago Public Schools crossing guard since 2016.
