OLLIE CELEBRATES NATIONAL CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY WEEK
Davidson- On September 21, students at Dan Mills Elementary received a visit from a very special guest. Ollie Otter, Tennessee's booster seat and seat belt safety mascot, visited the school to promote the use of booster seats. Ollie's program also encourages students to wear their seat belts and to raise awareness about roadway construction site safety. Ollie's slogan for the students was, "Under 4'9"-it's Booster Time!"
Ollie was joined by several volunteers working to increase booster seat and seat belt usage among Tennessee's elementary school children. Julie Brewer, Kevin Liska, Amanda Brown and Steve Hobbs- all from Tennessee Tech University- volunteered at the presentation. Along with them, Officer Rafael Fernandez from Metro-Nashville Police Department spoke at the presentation. Carol Coleman and Christy Kelley were there representing the Tennessee Road Builders Association. Ollie was also joined by Dave Mitchell, Commissioner of Safety for the state of Tennessee. Sarah Haverstick, from Vanderbilt Children's Hospital was in attendance, along with Deborah Scruggs from the Governor's Highway Safety Office.
National Child Passenger Safety Week is September 19-25. Check out Ollie's calendar to volunteer at a local event.
