Gateway Students Participate in Annual Safety Gator Poster Contest

One hundred and twenty-five students in Gateway schools were recognized by the district’s safety committee last month in ceremonies marking Gateway Safety Awareness Week, October 15-19.
The students were honored for their winning entries in the 2007 Safety Gator Poster Contest.
Students were asked to design posters with the theme of keeping safe at school, on the bus, or at home. The committee received over 1,000 posters from all eight schools. Winners in each grade level received a Gateway Safety Gator knit cap. Winning artwork was also displayed in the district’s Board room during the month of October. "The Safety Gator Poster Contest is a creative way to remind all of our students and teachers about the importance of safe behaviors while at school, on the bus, or at home," said Sandy Rossi, committee member and coordinator of this year’s contest. "It’s always great to see our students reminding their peers about school bus safety, bullying, staying away from drugs and alcohol, and more!"
The Gateway Safety Committee, which has been in existence for over 15 years, is comprised of representatives from across the District and meets monthly. The committee is certified through Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry’s Health and Safety Division. This is the 12th year that the committee has coordinated the district-wide poster contest.
