Sandy Hook Traffic Warden Has People Smiling With Her Unique Dance Moves

She is too cool!

Cathy Donohue

Kathy Holick is a dancing traffic warden who has managed to bring a little hope and positivity to Sandy Hook, a village that was struck by tragedy in December 2012.

The Newtown, Connecticut village was devastated when 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot dead twenty children and six staff members at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in December, 2012.

Before he went to the school, he shot his mother at their home and as people began to arrive to the school he then shot himself in the head.

47-year-old grandmother Kathy loves to dance, big band tunes are high up on her playlist and she has helped people to start smiling again as they go about their daily lives.

“She takes her responsibility seriously but has fun in the process,” John Bergquist, a resident of Newtown told the Hartford Courant. “Everyone seems to love her and she has put smiles on many faces.

“If she was directing traffic in any town across the country she would deserve praise and attention for the unique approach to her job.

“But someone who stands out for her kindness is especially meaningful in a community that is still healing from a massive trauma”.
