Six-year-old Hayden Gottstine and 9-year-old Haylee Tien, both of Logan, are the northwest Kansas winners in the 2012 “Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day” poster contest presented by the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Each student will receive and bicycle and helmet donated by Safe Kids Kansas as prizes for their artistic efforts.

The prizes will be presented by KDOT representatives during a school assembly planned for Thursday, October 11 at 10:15 a.m. in the Logan School Auditorium.

Hayden is the son of Janet and Phil Gottstine.  Haylee is the daughter of Jaimie Noone.

A total of 614 kids across Kansas ages 5 to 13 took the time to think about safety and participated in the contest, which increases traffic safety awareness.
