A group of students and their parents helped their school crossing guard cross one item off his bucket list by surprising him with World Series tickets.
Keeping Kids Safe
Jeff Covel has been a school crossing guard at Nottingham Elementary in Arlington, Virginia, for five years. In that time, he has become a favorite among the students he guides safely into school every day.
Covel is a big fan of the Washington Nationals. Many days, he sports a stuffed replica of the Nationals mascot Screech inside his safety vest.
A High-Priced Ticket
When the Nationals made it to the World Series for the first time in their history, Covel desperately wanted to go to a game but knew he could never afford the $1500 tickets.
Until last week, when Covel received the surprise of a lifetime. As cameras rolled, the students surprised him with the tickets at his crossing station.
A Special Day
Covel described the day to WTOP News, saying, “I started to tear up a little bit.”
