As we head into summer break, the YOVASO crew from the Terrier Safety Squad wants to remind everyone to have fun, make memories, and most importantly…stay safe. ☀️🚴‍♂️🚗🚶‍♀️

Whether you’re:
🚲 Riding your bike around the neighborhood
🚗 Heading out on vacation or riding with friends and family
🚶 Walking to the pool, park, or store

Make smart choices every single day:
✅ Wear your helmet when riding your bike
✅ Always buckle your seatbelt — every ride, every time
✅ Stay off your phone and pay attention to your surroundings
✅ Use crosswalks and look both ways before crossing
✅ Make eye contact with drivers before stepping into the road
✅ Help look out for younger brothers, sisters, and friends

A safe summer is a fun summer, and we want to see every Terrier back at school next year healthy and smiling! 🧡🖤

Remember: “Good choices today can save a life tomorrow.”

Have an amazing summer from your Terrier Safety Squad! 🐾

💥🐾 The Terrier Safety Squad completed a post-seatbelt check this morning, and while we’re proud of the effort, the results show we still have room to grow!

86% of vehicles checked had everyone buckled up -- but we know we can (and should) do even better!! Let’s continue holding each other accountable and making seatbelt safety a priority every single trip. 💛

And with that, it’s a wrap for our “Project GPS: Get Places Safely” campaign. We hope everyone has a fun, relaxing, and SAFE summer break! ☀️🛣️

🚦🐾 The Terrier Safety Squad is back at it! 🐾🚦

For Project GPS, students took part last Friday in a powerful lunch activity that really opened their eyes - literally. Students wore vision-impairment goggles while playing co****le to simulate what it’s like to have slowed reaction time, blurred vision, and poor coordination - just like someone under the influence of alcohol.

The results? Let’s just say…it wasn’t easy! 😵‍💫

This activity helped highlight some serious facts:
❌ Alcohol can affect your vision, making it harder to judge distance and focus
❌ It slows reaction time, which is critical when driving
❌ It impairs decision-making, leading to risky choices
❌ Even small amounts can have big consequences behind the wheel

The takeaway is simple but important: Drinking and driving is never worth the risk. And it doesn’t just endanger the driver - it also puts passengers, pedestrians, and entire communities at risk.

Our students are learning that speaking up matters. If you see someone about to drive impaired, say something! You could save a life.

🚦🐾The Terrier Safety Squad kept the momentum going last Friday, getting students to think about traffic safety and how to get where they’re going safely over the summer.

During lunch, students took part in a fun activity by filling out postcards with their summer plans -- whether it’s heading to the pool 🏊‍♀️, the beach 🏖️, or a friend’s house 🏡 -- and the steps they will take to get there safely. 🚶‍♂️🚲🚗 We loved seeing the creativity and thoughtfulness put into each one!

Even some of our staff joined in on the fun and filled out postcards of their own! 😊🙌

As we look ahead to summer adventures, it’s a great reminder that whether we’re passengers, riding our bikes, or out walking, we can all take simple steps to stay safe...and encourage others to do the same. ☀️🌴💛

🐾The Terrier Safety Squad was out in full force this morning, greeting students in the car rider line with smiles and positive energy! ✨

They handed out helpful information about passenger safety and reminded everyone how important it is to speak up if something doesn’t feel right in a vehicle 🚗⚠️

If you ever feel unsafe, remember:
🚨Give reminders (e.g. remind everyone to wear their seatbelt)
🚨Provide a solution (e.g. offer to answer their phone while driving)
🚨Speak up for safety (e.g. let your parent know if something makes you feel unsafe)

🎤 Your voice matters—don’t be afraid to use it! Passenger safety begins with YOU! 💙🐾

🩵Help Save the Next Girl is sponsoring a "Together in Teal: United for Change" Day on Tuesday, April 28th.

Terrier Nation, both middle and high schools, will come together as a community to raise awareness and show support for Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

We encourage everyone to wear teal as a symbol of solidarity, strength, and hope. By participating, you help create a visible message that our community stands !

Let’s stand together, raise awareness, and make a difference -- one teal outfit at a time. 🩵

🌟🎤A couple of our Terrier Safety Squad members had an opportunity to sit down and talk with Zoe Mowery, WFXR Reporter, about Project GPS and "Distracted Driving Awareness" month, and how even in middle school, students can still make a difference, influencing their peers and families every day to stay safe on the road. 🚗
