Andy and Lori Key from the Nathan's Legacy Foundation stop at Jones County Junior College to give children more than just candy on Halloween. The Keys gave the children an interactive lesson about school bus safety.
The Keys created a homemade school bus from fabric, PVC pipe, and lights to use as an instructional tool for teaching children about school bus safety. According to Lori Key, the activity helps children understand that "people who drive now should stop when the stop sign is out on the school bus."
The line of children waiting to play the game simulates cars stopping for the school bus as students embark and disembark. The children can only pass the bus to get a prize when they've thrown a ball and completely knocked the stop sign in. Prizes for the event were donated from Wal-Mart in Meridian, MS.
Also, the Keys and other members of the Nathan's Legacy Foundation handed out instructional information to parents and reminded children who ride the school bus of safety rules.
Parents like Shaquita Jones and Kristy Turner hope that the foundation will continue to bring events like this one to children because it's not only informative, but it brings the community together for a great cause - to help another Nathan survive.
