The six-year Doreen is enthusiastic: "I like the vest good; I'll always wear it." And they are indeed jeweler in color yellow and the orange stripe on the side, with the hood and the two traffic detectives Felix and Frieda as imprint: the twelve safety vests, which the parents' committee member Use Lander on Tuesday to the twelve first years of the Upper Heifer basic and secondary school has distributed.
Allowing students to benefit from the ADAC Foundation "Geber Engel" a joint action with other partners to provide all first graders in Germany with safety vests, so that the school for the youngest road users safer. For this purpose, Lander and class teacher Anne Brill had contacted the General German Automobile Association, in conjunction and in early June the class one registered for this action. In July came the confirmation via e-mail that the Upper Heifer graders are included.
Thus began a small odyssey: Shortly after mid-September, the West had arrived at school; they ordered the ADAC already returned - Reason: One of the processed reflective stripes did not correspond in all respects to the high requirements of European standard. The states namely that such strips intended to reflect up to a distance of 25 meters. The reflectors on the China-West, however, were seen only up to a distance of 20 meters. To achieve the best possible safety standard, the West has been revised and provided with prescribed reflective stripes.
So the Upper Heifer students their West although received now until mid-October, but just in time for training "safe school" which Karl Buts, responsible at Police Meßstetten for road safety education, completed this morning with the boys and girls: "We practice how we make sure about the streets, and since these vests are a great thing. " It hopes parents advisory board member Use Lander that the offspring not only in the morning when they are now marching in the dark in the school, but also when they visit grandma or friends, go to the gym or swimming that attract high visibility vests, "so they are not overlooked ". The free donated by the action partners west may keep the children. So it would welcome Lander if this project would be continued in the next school year for the then new first graders.
The initiative has also rector at Manfred Maier on consent: "The children are at risk and more quickly recognizable by these vests this is an active contribution to protecting the youngest.” Given at the school also carries training with police Buts. The children learn and practice how to behave at the crosswalk.
And train them to look at a road without pedestrian crossing is a place from which you can see in either direction, front to stand at the edge to stretch his arm to look left and right and quickly with the free road but not running, and to cross the road in a straight path. That convinced the six-year Lukas. He plucks his vest dogs: "The looks good." And even if he already has a home, the new he will not hang in the closet.
