Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
A project that has been years in the making...
Yerington Elementary School (YES) parents and families are now able to enjoy the safe new drop off and pick up procedure at YES!
Thank you to the Pizen Switch Times for covering our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Yerington Elementary School!
Below is the article by Leah Wilkinson:
The Kiss and Drop Project located at the Yerington Elementary School (112 N. California Street) was created to improve Y.E.S. student safety in traffic while being dropped off and picked up by their parents before and after school.
The project entails a driveway feature with two lanes on the Yerington Elementary School property as a loading and unloading zone for parents to drop off their children. The Kiss and Drop Project was named from the custom of a parent’s Kiss goodbye as they Drop their children off at the school.
The City of Yerington funded the Kiss and Drop Project using federal funding from Congressman Horsford’s Office through the Federal Highway Administration.
Desert Engineering completed the project and DOWL, L.L.C engineering designed it. The right lane of the driveway is a “stop and go” loading and unloading zone to pickup and drop off children; and the left lane is designed to help traffic flow easier.
[...] The Kiss and Drop Project’s goal is to promote student safety and prevent avoidable traffic harm to children.
