Do your children know what to do in an emergency? Do they understand the importance of wearing their seatbelt in the car or their helmet when riding their bicycle? The world can be filled with dangerous situations, and it’s important for youngsters to know what to do to stay safe. That’s why the North Canton Jaycees are pleased to continue their tradition of providing Safety Town for children in Stark County who will be entering kindergarten in the fall.
The event runs from 6 to 8 p.m. each evening Monday, June 24 through Thursday, June 27, 2019, at Zion Lutheran Church 349 Lindy Ln Ave. N.W., North Canton, Ohio. The cost is $40 per child. Registration information can be found HERE. Registration will be capped at 50 students.
The Safety Town program addresses basic safety skills—such as teaching children to remember their name, address, and telephone number; to seek help in an emergency; and to understand fire safety, water safety and travel safety (bus/bicycle/automobile) information.
North Canton safety services personnel (police, fire and EMS) and representatives from other community organizations with knowledge of these safety issues will teach the program. Each evening will include hands-on learning sessions in small groups, snack time, and song/story time as a large group. Throughout the week, kids will even have the opportunity to tour police, fire and EMS vehicles. Each child will also receive a t-shirt and bike helmet.
