License to draw

Thursday morning at the KDOT offices started normal enough, until we checked our twitter notifications and the whole day turned around.

Shane Heiman’s second grade class from Lawrence’s New York Elementary sent KDOT their choices for new license plates.

Every school day Mr. Heiman has his class of 18 students do a daily journal entry and then they tweet their responses to people or businesses that might be interested in their ideas. So far this school year, Heiman’s class of 7 and 8 year olds have gotten at least one response a week from the people they tweet at.

Unfortunately, KDOT doesn’t handle the license plates it’s the Kansas Department of Revenue, but these journal entries were too good not to share and we will make sure to pass on your ideas to them. 

Check out the designs below.
