Humorous PTA signs help get kids to and from Austintown school safely

 The Austintown Elementary School PTA uses humor to help parents safely get their children to and from school.

The Parent Teacher’s Association has posted signs along the school drop-off point that give drivers the do’s and don’ts.

The signs are based on music and other media themes that parents of a particular generation may recognize.

 A sign with a picture of singer MC Hammer says, “Can’t Park Here” – a reference to the rapper’s 1990 song “U Can’t Touch This.”

Another sign that says, “Don’t go blocking drop-off lanes,” has a picture of the hip hop group TLC which had a hit in 1995 with the song “Don’t go Chasing Waterfalls.”

The boy band NSYNC gets in on the act with a sign that reads, “Tell the kids bye, bye, bye.”

Not all themes are related to music.

 An episode from the TV sitcom “Friends” is referenced with actor David Schwimmer carrying a couch, reminding parents to “Pivot!! Out of the drop-off line.”

Actor Ryan Gosling, who was pictured on social media themes with the words “Hey girl,” has been adapted for a sign that reads, “Hey girl, move your car all the way up.”
