Local student inducted into safety patrol hall of fame at Mariners game

Bennington — The Seattle Mariners honored a group of Hall of Famers before their May 20 game, but Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson were nowhere to be found. Instead, Journey Mohn, a fifth-grader at Columbia Valley Elementary School, and a group of fellow student patrol officers were inducted into the 2017 AAA School Safety Patrol Hall of Fame. Journey was recognized for her dedication to safety, community stewardship, leadership in Columbia Valley’s School Safety Patrol program, and helping to keep students and parents safe while they walk or ride bikes to and from school. Patrollers were evaluated and judged on their commitment to traffic safety, citizenship, leadership skills and contributions to school safety patrol programs, and nominations required input from both the patroller and their adviser, including responses to a series of essay questions.
