Hey everybody! This is Morgan Thomas. I just wanted to take a minute to tell you about our elementary school visit just before spring break. We are lucky enough to have an elementary school right next door to our school and they were kind enough to allow us to visit and talk with the 2nd graders about safety. It was a ton of fun! I think it was really productive. All the kids participated and absolutely loved to raise their hands in hopes of being the one to tell us the right answer. Most of them raised their hands before we even asked a question. We talked to them about being safe in the car, asking them questions like "What is the very first thing to do when you get in a car?" The answer of course is "Put your seatbelt on!"
Check out the pics of Vince and Larry saying goodbye to the kids as they leave and getting goody bags from YOVASO members that had great stuff in them like coloring books, stickers, and tatoos all focused on safety.
We also reminded them about being safe while riding bikes, on the bus, and riding fourwheelers and skateboards. And they just love the Crash Dummies, Larry and Vince. Two of our YOVASO members dressed up in the costumes and gave the kids high fives as they left the presentation. One of the best moments is near the end of our little assembly when we asked the kids if they had anything they wanted to ask or tell us. One little girl told us that her aunt is not safe in the car and that she's worried about her little cousins because they never where their seatbelts. We told her that she could use the reminder cards in their goody bags to help teach her how important it is to be safe in the car. We can only hope that these remember what we taught them and can maybe help educate their siblings and parents so that we can all be a little safer.
