Kaycee Jerby, a student at Phillipsburg Middle School, was recently named as one of three northwest Kansas winners in the 2015 Put the Brakes on Fatalities poster contest.

Jerby will receive a bicycle and helmet donated by Safe Kids Kansas. The prizes will be presented by the Kansas Department of Transportation and the Kansas Highway Patrol during a 1 p.m. assembly on Wednesday, Oct. 28, at Phillipsburg Middle School.

A total of 1,118 kids across Kansas ages 5 to 13 took the time to think about safety and participated in the contest. Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day is a nationwide effort to increase roadway safety and reduce all traffic fatalities.
