Dear JRSOs,
Unfortunately we are unable to go ahead with the recent competition due to lack of interest.
The prize was kindly donated by Conkers and entitled the winner to free admission on one occasion between now and the end of October 2010. The family ticket covers three adults and two children between the ages of 3 and 15.
Is your school taking part?
For more information about Bike Week you can either ask at school or telephone the Road Safety and Travel Awareness Team on 0116 305 6579.
Why not design a poster for your Road Safety notice board and then run a cycling competition for your school. Remember to order your prizes in plenty of time for the winners.
If your school is not taking part this year, remember that bike week also includes the weekends so you can still get involved with your families.
National Family Week is a celebration of family life in the UK and its aim is to encourage families to eat, read, play, explore and get active together during the half term holiday. There are many events happening in Leicestershire, just go to the family events guide at www.leics.gov.uk/familyweek or you can pick up information from your local libraries and museums.
If you cannot attend any of the activities on offer, why not talk mum, dad, carers or grandparents into going on a family bike ride. It would be an excellent opportunity for you to practice your cycling skills in time for bike week.
Every year we send all of our School Crossing Patrols a Christmas card to say thank you for the excellent job they do in making sure that children are safe whilst crossing the roads to and from school each day. The card that we usually send is a bit boring as it has traffic lights and road signs on it and we would really like to send them a card that would be special to them.
Can you design a Christmas card for our Lollipop people?
From Monday 22nd February 2010, you will have a new JRSO Scheme Co-ordinator.

I look forward to meeting many of you over coming term,

On Saturday 21st November, the winners of the JRSO Don’t Drink & Drive Competition had a great day at Leicester City Football Club, where football supporters were given a seasonal reminder not to drink and drive this Christmas.
The winners attended the game as VIP guests through a county-wide competition to come up with a design for a beermat or drinks coaster, and the children enjoyed a behind the scenes tour before kick-off.
At the event the crowd were reminded of the dangers of drinking and driving with messages displayed around the stadium.
We will be giving a prize every month to the JRSO who gets the highest score in our
