Safety Town
Safety Town is a safety education program geared for the pre-kindergarten child. Topics include pedestrian safety, police officers, bicycle safety, riding a school bus, safety at home and play, fire safety, stranger danger, seat belts and water safety. Students will also have an opportunity to explore the Saline Fire Department’s new “Fire Safety House”. Traffic safety is emphasized daily as children ride through our miniature “city” complete with buildings, crossing guards,and street signs. Children who complete Safety Town will be better prepared to care for themselves as a pedestrian or bus rider during their first year of school as well as be more safety conscious at home and play. Safety town has been specially designed for your child’s needs – it is fun and educational. Safety Town is sponsored by Saline Community Education in cooperation with the Saline Police Department.
