A Safe Way to School

Mia is eight years old, and she walks to school every day.

Her street is busy in the morning, so cars go very fast.

Last year, Mia's class wrote a letter to the city.

They asked for a safe path for children.

The city planners came and watched the street for a week.

They saw that many kids crossed between parked cars.

Now there is a new zebra crossing with bright yellow signs.

The cars must stop there, and a traffic helper stands nearby.

Mia feels happy because she can walk to school without fear.

Her little brother will use the same path next year.
