Before we head into the next week, let’s look at what’s come before.

Last week, we met a Taunton Public Schools crossing guard who has been keeping local students safe and smiling for 20 years. He was honored by the Mass Department of Transportation at the Safe Routes to School awards ceremony. We also looked forward to seeing a former Miss Taunton on American Ninja Warrior, and checked out another local on national TV who took Rawkstars to the Kelly Clarkson Show. Find these stories and others you may have missed, right here.
