Leyla-Marie was named the AAA Safety Patroller of the Year after graduating from the fifth grade at River Eves Elementary School in Roswell.
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Roswell resident Leyla-Marie Bouadou, recognized as AAA Safety Patroller of the Year, has a message for drivers before Fulton County Schools students begin classes Aug. 4. Leyla-Marie, who just finished fifth grade at River Eves Elementary School in southeast Roswell, said serving on her school’s Safety Patrol taught her the importance of awareness around cars and buses. After being nominated as

And I loved it because I became very helpful to my school” she said. “And, I’m very grateful to all the students out there, have a great school year and stay safe.”
