A group of
students from Mrs. Allison's 4th grade classroom
at Neil Armstrong Elementary School in
Mooresville applied for a grant through State
Farm to purchase weather radios to help keep
people safe for whom live in manufactured homes.
According to a new law passed in 2007 called,
"CJ's Law" that was named after 2-year-old CJ
Martin who died in the Evansville tornados in
December 2005, all new manufactured homes are
required to have the weather radios installed.
The class studied
CJ's Law but realized that it did not cover
people already living in manufactured homes so
the class started to do something about it.
After contacting all the mobile home parks in
the Mooresville Consolidated School District,
the students discovered that about 450 residents
need the radios. |

The students
passed out the radios to Terrace Mobile home
trailer park on June 10, 2009.
Firefighters from Madison and Brown Township,
Mooresville Fire Department and the Madison
Township Trustee Jim Bolin assisted the children
in handing out the radios. They were also
joined by the Morgan County Sheriff's Department
and a news cast team from channel 6, WRTV
Indianapolis.
The children will
continue to pass out the radios to the other
mobile home parks in the area until all 450
radios have been distributed. |
