Yes, though we didn’t get sashes with badges, instead we had these orange pullover vest like things that said safety patrol on the front and back. We also had orange ponchos for when it was raining.

I was in it in 5th grade since at my elementary school they picked kids to join in late 4th grade and you shadowed the person whose position you were taking the next year. I was on mornings and had to stand on the sidewalk on one side of the school driveway (we had another person on the other side). Along with keeping kids out of the driveway when a bus was coming we also had a sign on wheels that blocked the driveway that I’d move out of the way to allow busses in and out. The bus area and parking lot were too small for anything else so the sign was to keep parents from using that area and blocking busses with their cars.

Being on mornings did mean I had to get there a bit earlier than I normally would but it also meant I didn’t have to stay a bit after school and on the really cold and snowy days they gave us hot chocolate before we went to class. Those were the best days, got to sit in class sipping hot chocolate.

At the end of the year the school district did a picnic for all the safety patrol people in the district. Got out of an afternoon of school, had all kinds of free food, a DJ from a radio station playing music and giving away stuff, and a bunch of other things. Good times.
