My Project

We would like our older students to form our Safety Patrol. Students on the safety patrol will be taught responsibility and how to build their character for the future. It will teach the students to follow a schedule, to be on time and to work together as a cohesive community. Safety patrol students need good communication skills. They are expected to speak to adults and other students in a respectful way.

With these safety patrol vests, students will look like a more professional team.

Safety Patrol students help collect the recycling which helps build environmental awareness. The students are in charge of taking the flag down in the afternoon which teaches them to honor their country and also teaches them discipline.

These vests and badges will help identify the students on Safety Patrol. As the duties of Safety Patrol will happen mostly during arrival, we are asking for Pop-tarts and fruit bars for their breakfast as they will be working during the breakfast time.
