Nine new helpers on the way to school: safety for Burglengenfeld's youngest children

In Burglengenfeld there is a breath of fresh air at the Sophie Scholl Middle School. Nine committed students from the seventh grade have trained to become new school helpers. These young people underwent a week-long training course led by Police Chief Otto Miedl. He is the traffic educator for the local police station and has imparted valuable knowledge about road traffic to the new controllers.

The training was intensive, but all participants passed the test with flying colors and can now proudly wear their “school route pass”. Rector Michael Chwatal was enthusiastic and emphasized how important it is for the young people to take responsibility. “You are the role models for the younger ones,” he said and praised the commitment of the new school route helpers, who will ensure that the children from the neighboring Hans Scholl primary school get to school safely.

Appreciation for the new helpers

Wolfgang Weiß, the city's manager and public order officer, agreed with the words of praise. He emphasized that it is not a given that young people voluntarily take care of the safety of their little ones. “Your commitment is admirable,” he said, encouraging the new controllers to continue to act responsibly.

The training included not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical exercises that were intended to help students react correctly in various traffic situations. Police Chief Miedl taught the prospective school helpers the most important rules of the road traffic regulations and gave them tips on how they can work safely and effectively.

In addition to the training, the new school helpers received a small snack and drinks as a thank you for their commitment. Stephanie Jobst, who acts as student pilot representative, and treasurer Elke Frieser were also present and were happy about the success of the new helpers. In the coming weeks, the young people will finally be able to start their first assignment, provided they have reached the minimum age of 13.

The initiative to train new school helpers shows how important it is for young people to take responsibility and work for the safety of their classmates. The city of Burglengenfeld is setting an example for a safe environment for all students.
