Valerie Tobin, 58, has volunteered at Rothenberg Preparatory Academy in Over-the-Rhine for more than 40 years. Whatever they need, she says, she does. In recent years, she’s worked as a crossing guard.
On her walk to the school in bitterly cold weather Thursday morning, she slipped and fell on ice just one block away from Rothenberg.
“Luckily I didn’t hurt myself,” she said.
