Collage of the 2025 Yard Sign Design Contest Winners

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

The Massachusetts Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program announced the four winning submissions for this year's Yard Sign Design Contest. This year’s theme was centered around helmet safety. Four successful yard signs were selected out of almost 700 submitted applicants.

Congratulations to the talented Nora Rickli for her winning design and message “Be an Elephant, Never Forget Your Helmet”. Her design will be printed and distributed this summer.

These yard signs will be printed and ready for distribution this summer!

Sincerely,

Mary Coakley
