The poster contest is part of National School Bus Safety Week, which is designed to remind the public about the importance of using caution around school buses.
More than 100 Henry students submitted entries in the contest, whose theme was “Red Lights Mean Stop!” Each poster had to incorporate the slogan into its design.
