Menden explained to the first-graders the importance of warning safety vests. “You need them to be protected so you can be seen by cars,” Grebe explained to the excitedly listening children.
It was very important to wear the vest over the school satchel, added Jensen. Students from the second class sang songs during the event and wore their warning vests because, according to Rector Stephanie Bachmann, they “should serve as a model for the younger pupils”. Grebe presented the effect of the high visibility vest to the children by illuminating the dark-clad Mayor Mathias Eiders (SPD) and the second-grader Tristan in his safety vest with a flashlight.
The children were waiting for their safety vests at the end of the event. The six-year-old Lines were very happy about the gift and will continue to wear it in the future “because the vest is so beautiful.”
“The goal is to encourage the children to go to school even without parents with the waistcoat,” said Eiders. The parents had to stand behind them and make sure that their children are carrying the West, Gruber emphasized. At further schools in Han. Menden, Sheen and Unterberg, the West is still to be distributed. The first years of the Gottingen have been visible since Friday. Alexander Regain, deputy head of Fogelman in Gottingen, handed over 100 safety reflective vest in owl shape.
