The pupils of the first classes of Gruenberg School got reflective safety vest on Thursday. Policewoman Christine Neumann presented the more than 100 students from five classes their Awe-inspiring.
In keeping with the beginning of autumn were the youngest accept their safety vests. The bright yellow vest with hood is fitted from the front, rear and sides with reflectors.
To illustrate the students how important it is also to carry the vest and not to leave home, caring Kerstin, class teacher of 1e, the policewoman Christine Neumann for the handover of the West. Before handing they sharpened students the importance of safety vests.
“The West are in the dark winter months especially important,” said the cop, “” often, students are seen late in winter with dark jackets of motorists.”Neumann has been involved in youth work of the police and is familiar with such cases. Especially the very young students would often overlooked by motorists, especially when they do is deceive dark clothing.
Then it would be at the Gruenberg School closing. “If possible, invite the children to the West now every morning on the way to school wear,” predicts Kerstin. But even on day trips is to be used the high visibility vest. On their own initiative, the idea to buy safety vests for the first year was implemented.
The teacher took advantage of an offer from the ADAC. “Each year can be ordered Basic Schools ADAC safety vests for the new first-graders,” said the teacher, “we have now used this offer.”
The West got the school even free. This was made possible the existing since 2010 Project “Safety vests for school” of the Automobile Club. Since 2010 the Foundation supports “Gerber Engel” the action. With the high visibility vests to the safety of children in traffic greatly improved. While children are seen with normal clothes only from a distance of about 30 to 40 meters, they illuminate the motorist now already from a distance of about 100 meters towards.
To make safety vests for the students even more attractive, the ADAC has come up with two mascots for the reflective vest. Traffic Detectives Felix and Frieda, who can also be seen on the vest, are that motivate children to wear the vest.
