Four Grade 6 students from Glenbrook School were featured by local media today as part of the Alberta Motor Association's (AMA) annual Back to School campaign. Aitana, Malik, Lyben, and Emma took center stage to promote safe driving and pedestrian habits as students across the province returned to school.
The AMA’s Back to School campaign is aimed at raising awareness about the importance of safety in school zones. The campaign, which traditionally kicks off on the first day of classes, seeks to remind drivers to slow down, be vigilant, and watch for children crossing the street.
This year's campaign highlighted the perspectives of the students, who emphasized the significance of following safety rules both as pedestrians and drivers. Their involvement not only encourages their peers to be cautious but also serves as a reminder to the broader community about the need for safe driving practices around schools.
As students like Aitana, Malik, Lyben, and Emma head back to their classrooms, the AMA hopes their message resonates with drivers, helping to ensure a safe and smooth start to the school year for everyone.
