After many years of helping children safely cross the street, beloved Santa Clarita school crossing guard Ruben Chacon is retiring at the end of the month.
Students from James Foster Elementary School greeted Ruben with high fives and hugs on Wednesday, and many wore fake mustaches in his honor.
He was clearly humbled.
“I guess I had a bigger effect on these kids than I thought. It’s just amazing” Ruben told KTLA.
A KTLA 5 News viewer says Ruben recently won a substantial amount of money on a California Lottery Scratcher ticket, allowing him and his wife to retire.
We’re told he also plans to donate books to the elementary school.
