Last updated 4/19/2018 at Noon



In recognition of his dedication to safety, community stewardship and leadership, local elementary student Brody Boness, from Ritzville Grade School, was recently chosen to be inducted into the 2018 AAA School Safety Patrol Hall of Fame.

He will be one of 10 patrollers honored during a special awards ceremony held before a Seattle Mariners game on Friday, May 4, at Safeco Field.

As a long-standing tradition, AAA Washington and a panel of judges from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Washington Traffic Safety Commission select top patrollers from schools across Washington each year and honor their accomplishments through induction in the AAA School Safety Patrol Hall of Fame.

Patrollers are evaluated and judged on their commitment to traffic safety, citizenship, leadership skills, and contributions to school safety patrol programs.

Nominations require input from both the patroller and their advisor, including responses to a series of essay questions. This year, the panel reviewed and evaluated more than 40 nominations to determine the top 10 inductees.

AAA created the School Safety Patrol almost 100 years ago and partners with local agencies to bring the program to elementary schools across Washington. The AAA School Safety Patrol has been credited with being a major contributor to the substantial reduction in fatalities of school age children (ages 5-14).
