Macon-Bibb cross walk safety mascots visit Cirrus Academy kindergartners

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Macon-Bibb safety mascots Pedora and Peddy are making their rounds at schools across the county.

This afternoon they visited Cirrus Academy and M.A Evans Academy to teach kindergartners the importance of cross walk safety.

Pedestrian Safety Review Board Member Violet Poe says they want to get to kids before summer hits–when playing outside is at its peak.

“Students will be out for the summer and we want them not only through out the school year, but we want them to do it year round. We want them to be able to use these pedestrian safety tips as they walk,” she said.

It’s a part of the Pedestrian Safety Review Board’s ‘Cross the Walk’ campaign. They also gave students coloring books to take home so they can still learn with their crayola’s in hand.
