More stamps than ever before

 

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.
