Safety Town
|
Safety town is a one week program for 5-7 year old children that teaches life-saving lessons and stranger, traffic, fire, pedestrian, gun, poison, drug, playground, bus, and bicycle safety. The child-sized town includes working traffic lights, miniature street signs (stop, pedestrian crossing, railroad crossing, etc.), crosswalks, and colorful little buildings that represent businesses in our community. Students not only walk around at Safety Town, but also use miniature pedal cars (with seat belts, of course!). These tools help instructors to use a hands-on approach. This safety program is co-sponsored by the Fairview Heights Parks & Recreation and the Fairview Heights Police Department.
