The unique safety awareness program for kids ages 4 to 6 returns this summer!
Safety Town is sponsored by the Junior Women’s Club of Mentor with the support of the Mentor Fire and Police Departments, along with the Mentor Public Library, and Mentor Schools.
Parents rave about the week-long program that teaches children important lessons about fire safety, stranger danger, poisons/drugs, and school bus safety. And, preschoolers that attend are excited about it too! Not only do they get to meet first responders and see police cars and fire trucks up-close, they also get hands-on experience putting the lessons learned into practice.
One of the week’s highlights is the child-sized “Safety Town” complete with working traffic signals, miniature buildings, cross walks, and traffic provided by children riding Big Wheels. The pint-sized drivers learn about pedestrian, traffic and bike safety.
The 2022 sessions of Safety Town will be held the weeks of June 6th and June 13th at Memorial Junior High, with both morning (9:00 AM – 11:15 AM) and afternoon (12:00 PM – 2:15 PM) sessions.
Cost is just $40. Registration forms are available to download at mentorjuniorwomen.org, or pick up at the Mentor Public Library.
