Safety Town

Just yesterday our class had the opportunity to participate in a program called “safety town”. Safety town allowed students to navigate through a miniature-sized city on small bicycles. While traveling through the city, students stopped at different stations to learn about water safety, bike safety, pedestrian safety, dog bites, and fire safety.

Safety town was generous enough to provide free helmets for those students who did not already have helmets. After being given these helmets, students had the opportunity to ride around the gym on small bikes. While riding through the town in the gym, students were responsible for stopping at stoplights, watching for pedestrians, and stopping at the railroad crossing.

Students greatly enjoyed driving through this miniature-city and took great care in watching for stoplights, pedestrians, and railroad crossings. Through this program students learned many things about fire safety, water safety, pedestrian safety, bike safety, and dog bites. Thanks to safety town, our second graders now have more knowledge about these concepts.
