TESTIMONIALS
“The quality of the program was excellent, and the advocation for the needs of the school will prove most beneficial as it is an ‘expert voice’ other than the requests of the principal. The program brought about heightened awareness around road safety for the kids! There are no other local sources of information and not all parents adequately teach safety. Most importantly, the awareness raising will be through the data and the advocation processes.”
