GEMA's School Safety Project Kicks- Off Contest for Georgia Students School safety has a profound impact on the learning environ ment of Georgia students. To un derscore the importance of school safety from the students' perspec tive, the Georgia Emergency Man- agement Agency's (GEMA) School Safety Project is sponsor ing a slogan contest for Georgia middle and high school students giving them the opportunity to define the topic in their own words. "Since GEMA's School Safety Project is still so new to many Georgia students, we felt like this contest would give them a chance to help us promote the importance of our program," said GEMA Di rector Gary W. McConnell. "Who better can help define school safety than those middle and high school students who are dealing with the reality of school safety each day." This contest, which is an nounced during the Georgia ob servance of Safe Schools Week, is open to students entering grades six through twelve in the fall of 2001. Entrants must be Georgia residents, must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to enter and must supply the name and phone number of a parent or legal guardian for verification. The winner of the contest will re ceive a $500 U.S. Savings Bond. Eligible students may enter the contest on line by visiting the School Safety Project's Web site at www.ganet.org/inthezone. Or, students who would like to illus trate their slogans, may mail then to the following address: School Safety Slogan Contest, P.O. Box 18055, Atlanta, Georgia 30316- 0055. Entries must be received by November 30, 2001. "We plan to use the winning slogan to help promote and rein force the message that most school violence can be pre vented," said Steve Harris, GEMA State School Safety Project Man ager. "For every act of school vio lence that we see reported in the news, a number of similar inci dents have been prevented due to the efforts of students who be came involved and when school officials and law enforcement of ficers responded to the situation."
