Ronald McDonald Comes To Visit South School

Today we had a special visitor who came to South School.  It was Ronald McDonald who came to teach us about road safety. He had a really big book that Miss Kennedy read to us. At the end of the show Ronald McDonald gave her his missing red and white stripey sock.

Stop and take a step back before you cross the road.  I am happy. TK
