Thanks to the Piscataway High School Safety Ambassadors for visiting with Eisenhower Elementary School first-graders on Thursday, Feb. 5, to teach them the importance of pedestrian safety, bicycle safety, and car safety belts!  

The Safety Ambassadors are guided by PHS school counselor Diana Bouzek, who trains the high school students to teach safety topics to the younger children. Ms. Bouzek also shares a safety quiz created by Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital with the first-graders and teachers ahead of their visit to help determine which safety topics students are familiar with and which areas need additional instruction.

In addition to the important safety messages, the program gives the high-schoolers experience in leadership roles and community involvement – and the first-graders get excited to learn from their older peers.
