Parents,
\nI requested reflectors from the Alaska Injury Prevention Center. They have been sent to me and I am ready to apply them to backpacks and jackets. I need volunteers who are willing to assist me during lunchtime (11:45 am until 12:40 p.m.) and immediately after school (2:05 p.m. until 3:30 p.m.). It was highly recommended that volunteers apply the reflectors. If they are sent home, they are unlikely to be used. The reflectors simply stick on the item and can be easily attached in a matter of seconds.\u00c2\u00a0 If you and\/or your adolescent are interested in assisting me, let me know which day will work best for you. I would prefer to do this on one single day.\u00c2\u00a0 It may be that students will even allow us keep their backpack or jacket and apply the reflectors when they are back in class after lunch.\u00c2\u00a0 If that is the case, we may not even need the extra time after school. If you are interested in assisting me, please let me know which day works best for you. The day that works best for most people is the one that we will plan on. Remember, October 28th is an inservice day, so no students will be in the building.\u00c2\u00a0 My direct line is 742-4963 and my email is mccarron_anne@asdk12.org<\/p>\n
The Alaska Injury Prevention Center suggests that the reflectors be adhered to both the front and back of backpacks and\/or winter coats. It may be cut into shapes to add flair and individuality. Perhaps the end of October would best best for this activity since we should have snow by then and hopefully,\u00c2\u00a0 all students will be wearing their winter jacket to school.<\/p>\n
This may seen like a project that is important only for elementary school aged children, yet, we know that it is often difficult to see anyone when the sun is down. Alaska is a state where there is the\u00c2\u00a0 the greatest need for reflectors. I did a preliminary survey and only found four students who had them. They were reflectors on backpacks that looked like they were there when the backpack was purchased.\u00c2\u00a0 After a date is decided on to apply the reflectors, I will send an educational brochure home to encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity.\u00c2\u00a0 I appreciate your help.
\nSincerely,<\/p>\n
