Participation of students from the Primary School in the social campaign "You are visible, you are safe"

On March 27, 2019, a very important campaign took place in our school as part of the "You are visible, you're safe" social campaign. The action was taken under the patronage of the Marshal's Office of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship, and it was carried out in cooperation with the Municipal Police Headquarters, the Provincial Traffic Center and the Municipal Headquarters of the State Fire Service.

The event was honored by its presence: Mrs. Janina Ewa Orzełowska - a member of the Masovian Voivodeship Board and representatives of the Marshal's Office of the Masovian Voivodeship in Warsaw, Mrs. Magdalena Sałata - Director of the Office of the Marshal's Office in Siedlce, Mrs. Dorota Dmowska-Paczuska - Secretary of the Siedlce Commune, Mr. Dariusz Napiórkowski - Director of the Voivodship Traffic Center along with representatives of WORD, representatives of the Municipal Police Headquarters and Municipal Headquarters of the State Fire Service, as well as representatives of the media, including "Tygodnik Siedlecki". The participants of the safety promotion program were students of grades III to VIII of the primary school and the third grade of the gymnasium.

The action "You are visible, you are safe" started with an official meeting in the gym. Everyone speaking to our students emphasized how important it is to wear reflective vests that significantly increase our safety on the roads. Even a small reflective element on the backpack or clothing makes the driver receive a warning that someone is moving along the way. Pedestrian wearing reflective elements with reflective tapes become visible from a distance of 150 meters.

At the end of this official meeting, the youth received a set of reflective elements for themselves and members of their families.

Then, under the supervision of teachers, students took part in three thematic panels devoted to security issues. All students learned the rules of first aid during exercises on phantoms to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation conducted under the professional supervision of medical rescuers from the State Fire Service in Siedlce. Under the supervision of the WORD specialists, they learned how to properly cycle on a bicycle track. An additional attraction of this panel was the possibility of a ride on a motorcycle simulator. As part of the third panel, children watched educational films devoted to security and prevention issues, additionally accompanied by comments from representatives of the NPM in Siedlce.

We greatly hope that our students will be able to use the acquired knowledge and skills in practical situations.
