The protection of children in traffic has been a major concern of the ADAC and the Deutsche Post Foundation for many years.
For this reason, both institutions are equipping elementary schools with yellow safety vests once again this year, under the motto “School in sight, Kids in view”.
The traffic officer of the local club, German Nowak, was in action as the over bigger of the useful outerwear. Sven Shih, the headmaster of the school, explained in the first two classes, which in total comprise about 50 pupils, that he promised to give presents at school. This is the first opportunity to make the promise come true.
The ADAC representative urged the children to always coat the sleeveless vests on the streets and paths from dawn or in inclement weather. “You want to experience Christmas healthy,” he emphasized. The vests are extra so wide in scope that even a thick winter jacket has space under it. With their yellow and orange vests and gray reflective fabrics, the kids could be out there for everyone to see. Even when driving a car, it is not a pity, the vest to have it. For each vest, there were special washing instructions for the parents. “The reflectors should last as long as possible,” said Nowak. If a vest is broken or lost, replacement is possible.
The children quickly moved to new clothes. To safety vests with reflective materials, they received yellow and red balloons. The two class teachers Anna-Maria Keller (class 1a) and Simone (class 1b) received a CD with songs and a book.
