Safety Town Prepares Children Entering Kindergarten
Westlake Safety Town continues its 50-year tradition of educating our children entering kindergarten about traffic and school safety issues. Classes are offered in sessions throughout June and July.
Spearheaded by the Safety Town Director (and with the help of an energetic team of student volunteers), Safety Town helps better prepare hundreds of pre-kindergarten children for the school experience. The program includes basic safety instruction on pedestrians, 9-1-1 usage, school bus procedures, fire and gun safety, and stranger caution. The children visit the fire and police stations for tours and end the session with a certificate at the graduation ceremony.
