Calling all KIDS, families, neighbors.........join us this
With the new, upcoming school year and our little ones on foot, bikes, scooters & strollers, let's remind drivers, speeders and ourselves to be a little bit more observant. Kids will be painting bright, fun, funky yard signs with important messages...plus a whirligig or two...to remind drivers to: SLOW DOWN, Kids on Bikes, We ♥ our children, KIDS AT PLAY, etc. We are looking for neighbors to adopt these signs and bring awareness and ART to our streets.
Bring your kids dressed for messy action + FUN!!

Please contact Jarah Jones at jarahj@gmail.com for any questions, to adopt a sign, to volunteer with painting or "planting" signs.
