I am so excited about this afternoon, I get to accept an award for "Outstanding Media in 2007".
This is from the Safe Kids Oklahoma Program.

For the past few months I have teamed up with Safe Kids to help bring awareness to the dangerous trip many Oklahoma kids make everyday to school.

We need more sidewalks, re-touch the paint on many crosswalks, and crossing guards
to help make the trip safer for those kids.

I walked around Heronville Elementary School recently with Mayor Mick Cornett and the Lt. Governor to get an idea of what it's like for the students.

Let's just say, I fell in more than a few pot holes, and ditches along the way.

This afternoon's award will highlight all the work done in the last year to fix the problems.

I am so happy I got to help.
