Clark County Needs Crossing Guards – Have What It Takes?

Author Shawn Tempesta
Don't cross these crossing guards.

Look to the left, then look to the right. Is the coast clear? Then you’re ready to apply for a crossing guard job with Clark County!

We all remember crossing guards being there when we were kids, but imagine if they weren’t there for yours? Scary right?! The roads in Southern Nevada are scary enough. Thankfully countless people give up a couple hours a day, for a little bit of pay, so your kids can learn and play without getting slayed.

What are the qualifications for crossing guards?

The expectations are pretty simple. Be over 18, be dependable, run your fingerprints to make sure you’re not a loon, and pass an agility and balance test. We’ve all seen that one maniac driving through a school zone a little faster than they should. A crossing guard should have their head on a swivel and be able to grab a kid’s backpack before they get mowed down.

The pay isn’t a ton. $16 an hour. But two hours a day, ten hours a week. That’s $160 a week. Do that for the month and it’s enough to pay for a couple bills!

How do I apply to be a crossing guard?

If you think you have what it takes to be a crosswalk hero, show up at any of the following dates between 10am and Noon:

Your employer would be All City Management Services. Just make sure you bring two forms of identification or a passport. For more info, head to the Clark County website. Happy crossing!

Happy 'National School Pictures Day' From 102.7 VGS (PICTURES)

I’m telling you, these random national holidays get more and more fun as we shred through the year. Today is National School Pictures Day! Aka a day to share and celebrate all of the super cute, sometimes funny, nearly always awkward school pictures we all endured and will carry with us for the rest of our lives.

According to National Today, “National school photography provider Lifetouch declared the first-ever National School Picture Day happening on the second Thursday of September in 2019.” It’s always during the second week of September so that the holiday always falls right at the beginning of school. The day always hits right around the time that schools are scheduling their official picture days. I know my former elementary school was one of those schools that had their picture day today for the students. I think that’s such an exciting way to celebrate the festivities with current students as well. They deserve to celebrate this holiday too!

Yanno, I think (most) all of us can agree that looking back on our early days as a student, it didn’t necessarily matter the grades we made. What really ended up mattering is how brutal our school pictures turned out. Because those suckers… they somehow really do stick by your side for the rest of your life. Like glue. They’re always there, and they always come back to haunt you. The good ones AND the bad ones. But I suppose that’s what makes the reminiscing so enjoyable.

You’ve gotten to know the 102.7 VGS squad over the air waves and online through our content and bios (check them out)! But this holiday is such a fun way to share the sides of ourselves from years past, back when we were mere kiddos. It’s a cool way to share a glimpse into our days as students! Your 102.7 VGS crew was ready to join in on the fun.

We couldn’t let this super fun throwback of a holiday slip by without sharing our school pictures from back in the day.

Check out Aimee, Shawn, Cameron, and Sammi as kids!

    Aimee's Football Picks Of The Week

    Being born and raised in New York I have been a New York Giants fan my whole life but I didn’t know anything about any other teams until I became an adult.

    When I met my husband every Sunday was a football day… all day. I decided if I wanted to hang out with him and actually enjoy it I had to know more about all of the teams and not just the Giants.

    I was a bartender at the time and would ask all of the big betters that I would take care of who their #1 pick of the week was, then I would put them all together and bet a 6pt 5-team parlay. (I didn’t know what it was at first either) I did really well and learned so much about betting and football. It was a win-win (most weeks) I got to hang out with my husband during the football days and won a few bucks here and there.

    Betting doesn’t have to be scary and you don’t have to put a ton of money down to win or just to get into games that you wouldn’t otherwise get into.

    They even make betting so easy now you can do it from your phone and you don’t have to go to the sportsbook and get embarrassed when you have no idea what you’re doing! I am not a degenerate I just love football and getting into all things football!

    So with the NFL kicking off, I bring to you Aimee’s picks for week 1 of the NFL!

    DISCLAIMER: I think I’m pretty good at betting on football but please don’t put your children’s college fund on these picks.
