Baldwin Whitehall Educational Foundation (BWEF) is thrilled to offer road safety yard signs to residents of the Baldwin-Whitehall School District. These signs, perfect for display on front lawns, were creatively designed by Maddie Kincaid from McAnnulty Elementary School and Marley Murajda from Baldwin High School as part of an artwork contest aimed at inspiring safer, more responsible driving in our community. Each student received a $100 Amazon gift card as a prize!

This project was sponsored by BWEF, Baldwin Borough, Baldwin Township, Whitehall Borough, and their respective police departments. Along with the BWSD Transportation Department, they will place 200 signs along streets and at intersections to help promote more cautious driving throughout our district.
The initiative was sparked by concerned community members and is supported by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Crash and Statistics report that states that 809 school bus drivers and passengers have been injured in Pennsylvania over the past five years. Collectively, our goal is to help ensure a safer environment for all of our children.
