🚸 HELP US KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE! 🚸

As the school year begins, please remember to stop at least 20 feet from a school bus when red lights are flashing — the moment they’re activated!

Children can be unpredictable and may cross before the bus fully stops. Slow down when you see yellow lights and never try to beat the red.

Let’s all do our part to keep our Village of Vernon students safe.
