During the past
two weeks, the Mari students have been walking to school diligently. And wore safety vests. Now there were certificates for it.
In the past two
weeks, the Mari students came to school “safe and visible”: namely with a neon
yellow safety vest and preferably on foot. There was a stamp on their stamp
card. And so every morning there were lots of yellow "fireflies" in
the schoolyard at the stamping point to pick up their stamps.
At the end of the
campaign, the class representatives, in Corona times of course with a mask and
on behalf of the whole class, received the certificates. It was worth it again:
"A total of 2566 stamps could be collected, that was more than ever
before," writes the school in a press release. "The great community
achievement was entered in the action certificate, which is now publicly
displayed in the school hallway."
The certificates
of recognition for each class are posted in the classroom to remind all
children to keep wearing the vests, especially during the darker months of the
year. "Because with a vest," says headmistress Angelika
Wiedau-Gottwald, "the children are much better seen on the way to
school."
With this
campaign, the school supports the annual call by the German Children's Fund and
the German Transport Club to increase the safety of children in road traffic,
it says in conclusion.
