MAY 16 – 17, 2019
REWARD YOUR SAFETY PATROLLERS WITH A FUN-FILLED TRIP TO EXCITING WISCONSIN DELLS!
77th Annual Wisconsin Safety Patrol Congress
We invite you to join us in Wisconsin Dells, May 14-15, 2020 to celebrate 77 years of commitment to School Traffic Safety!
The purpose of the first congress, and every congress since, has been to recognize and reward students who faithfully serve as school safety patrols during the course of the school year. These students are positive role models and recognized as leaders by their peers. The Wisconsin Safety Patrol Congress is a special event that expresses our appreciation for their hard work and dedicated service.
An ongoing tradition at the congress has been an entertainment and awards program in which students, selected as outstanding school safety patrols, are recognized during a spectacular performance at the Tommy Bartlett Show.
Please review this book and become familiar with the activities planned for your safety patrol delegates. Don't miss the fun, excitement and natural beauty of Wisconsin Dells as we celebrate the 77th year of the Wisconsin Safety Patrol Congress!
Hope to see you in 2020!
