Students at St. Mary's Catholic School on Beaumont Road, Wednesbury, have made the colourful poster following the retirement of their lollipop lady in November last year.
Students took part in a competition created by the road safety team at Sandwell Council to encourage drivers to use the roads safely to safeguard children.
