Jose’s Photograph
“I took this picture
because it is unsafe.
The car is in the wrong
lane. This picture is
more important
because it is at a school
cross walk. That’s why I
took this picture.”
Erica’s Photograph
“This picture shows a
bright red stop sign and it
means to car to stop. I
took this picture because
to show safety. The thing
that needs to be improve
is that there should be a
sidewalk so people can
walk. The people who is
responsible for this is the
school people and the
government.”
Matthew’s Photograph
“This picture is about a
stop sign at the
corner of the school.
There is cars in the
background at Rite
Aid. This picture is
about how safety is
always first.”
Alex W.’s Photograph
“My picture is safe and
dangerous. It’s a
crosswalk in the morning
people park on the
crosswalk. That’s what
makes it dangerous.
When the police is
present they don’t park
on the crosswalks that’s
what makes it safe. I think
the police should be there
every day.”
Zakk’s Photograph
“I took this
picture because
it is unsafe. The
sidewalk is
unsafe because
the crack.”
Megan’s Photograph
“My photo is of a crack in the
sidewalk. I chose this photo
because it’s unsafe and needs to
be fixed. I learned to be more
safe. I learned to go against the
traffic when walking! The only
thing that should be fixed would
be the sidewalks. I think the
government and we the people
should work together to fix the
sidewalks. The thing that I liked
most was taking pictures and
learning about pedestrian safety.
I had so much fun.”
Alex T.’s Photograph
“This picture is
about showing the
driver can’t get out
of the car. It’s safe so
they don’t get hurt.
If the driver gets hit
there’s nobody to
help him.”
Israel’s Photograph
“I took this picture to
tell people to buckle
up so they can stay
safe. I think there
should be street
lights here. You
should also look
both ways before
crossing this road.”
Tray’s Photograph
“My picture is about
crosswalks. My photo is
taking place in front of a
sign. It was hot. My friends
were in the picture. It’s
safe the sign said buckle
up. Our lives depend on it.
Our project was about
staying safe. It tells us to
stay on the sidewalk. To
stay safe get people to
watch pedestrians. I like
my pictures.”
Keenan’s Photograph
“They are walking
across the street.
They played in
line. Don’t play in
line. Never play in
line. Don’t run in
line.”
Brittany’s Photograph
“This is a picture of a sign
to let you know that kids
are walking from school.
It was something for our
safety to let drivers know
that we are coming from
school. You can also teach
your family how to be
safe. And while you are
walking make sure you
look both ways. And
that’s why I took this
picture.”
Josue’s Photograph
“I took a picture of this car
because it stopped at a stop
sign and looked both ways. I
also took this picture cause
the last car didn’t follow the
rules and stop. There are a
lot of dangerous stuff and
only we the people can stop
it.”
Tray’s Photograph
“My picture is about
crosswalks. My photo
taking place in front of a
sign. It was hot. My
friends were
Sierra’s Photograph
“This picture is a lady not paying
attention to the road and that is
very unsafe. She could of crashed
and got seriously injured. If I was
an adult and seen kids out there I
would drive the right way so they
could learn from me. The lady
was driving not looking at the
road digging in her purse and
she’s not even at a stop sign or
red light. The things that she
could have done to make it safer
is wait until she was at red light.”
Ana’s Photograph
“My pictures describe
what is good for us to
look for this signs so we
will be safe. I took a
picture of a crosswalk
because its very safe for
everybody to be able to
see. So they won’t have
to cross the street
anywhere. That’s why I
took that picture.”
Summer’s Photograph
“My picture #3 was
talking about how
unsafe it is to cross the
crosswalk without a
sidewalk. It would be
much safer if it had a
sidewalk. Then when
you cross the street you
don’t have to go in the
grass.”
Morgan’s Picture
“I took a picture of nice
cars stopping at a red
light. It was safe because
they were stopped at a
red light. Also it is unsafe
because the car in front is
passed the crosswalk. If
he was going slower he
would never go over the
crosswalk. That’s why I
like this picture.”
Jessica’s Photograph
“Do you want to be safe? I
took a picture of sign that
says ‘Left turn Yield on
Green’. I choose to take this
photo because its important
for people to look at the
signs. You can stay safe
when walking on the
crosswalk and looking both
sides. To improve the
walking environment in my
photo that people listen to
signs. I learn from this
project to listen to all signs
anywhere and anytime.”
Lilly’s Photograph
“My favorite picture has a
ahead sign, and it had the
name Hayes Elementary
School and Pine Mtn.
Middle School. I choose this
picture because the people
that are driving might be
going really fast and a kid
might be going home
walking home from school
and that person might
injure the pedestrian. That
is why I choose this picture.”
Mayra’s Photograph
“This picture is
unsafe. And you
should always look
both ways. Also look
for signs. And never
speed. So you should
be careful.”
