Safety First is Essential

Help me give my students cones and control barricades for a safe environment upon arriving and leaving school.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. McDonald's classroom raised $1,069

My Project

Since our school is located behind our high school, traffic in the mornings and evenings this year is really a big issue with both schools having separate carpools and buses. I am trying to purchase cones and control barricades to help provide safety to our students by helping parents identify the areas not to drive through. This would create smooth transitions and easy traffic flow that would not be a big issue for our school or the high school. Parents would know where to and where not to go in the mornings and afternoons. Safety first is the main goal.
