Sarah’s a diamond
A very special person will be receiving a diamond certificate today in recognition of all the volunteer road safety work she has done at Galley Common Infant School.
Sarah Lever has been helping to run the popular KerbSafe scheme for a number of years at the school and is now being honoured with an award.
KerbSafe is a practical road safety initiative developed by Warwickshire County Council to help make young children safer when they are out near roads. It comprises 6 roadside sessions with volunteer instructors and introduces children to the basic skills they need to become more aware of the potential risks they face.
Stan Milewski, Principal Road Safety Officer at the County Council said: “We couldn’t run this important scheme without people like Sarah. They play a vital part in educating our young children about road safety and give their time freely – we very much appreciate their hard work.”
Once a young child is aware of the dangers on the road, KerbSafe helps them to think about what they can do to keep themselves safe and encourages them to share this knowledge with their parents.
For further information about the course, or to become a volunteer instructor, please call Annabel Matharu on 01926 412253.
