Greenwich Safety Town 2008
Greenwich Boys & Girls Club, Greenwich CT
Greenwich Safety Town is a comprehensive safety education program introducing awareness and prevention skills for youngsters entering a Greenwich kindergarten program in Fall 2008. Originally brought to Greenwich by the Junior League of Greenwich, Safety Town is a program of the Greenwich Chapter of the American Red Cross. This year the week-long half day sessions will be held June 9 - 13 and June 16 -20 at the Greenwich Boys & Girls Club.
,br>
Topics covered in Safety Town include automobile, pedestrian, fire, bike, gun, animal, playground and water safety, along with information about medicines and poisons, traveling on trains and buses, stranger awareness and more.
During the session, children will learn by actively participating in safety lessons. Under the guidance of classroom teachers, Greenwich police officers, fire fighters, EMS and other community helpers, children will learn and practice safe reactions and behaviors before experiencing these unfamiliar situations in real life. They will also tour an ambulance, fire truck and school bus.
Children will be taught in an indoor classroom setting as well as on a specially designed kid-sized “Safety Town” layout. Each child is fitted with their own bike safety helmet that they use for the week and then take home to keep. They will ride pedal cars and walk and “shop” through the town complete with buildings, crosswalks, sidewalks, street markings and a railroad crossing learning appropriate safe behaviors each step of the way.
The daily lessons are followed up with take-home handouts and additional reference information for parents and caregivers. Morning sessions meet 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Afternoon sessions meet 12:15 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. Last year more than 400 youngsters benefited from this exciting program. The fee for this week-long program is $140 and financial aid is available.
Registration forms will be available on our website: greenwichredcross.org or can picked up at the Chapter beginning February 1st . Complete registrations can be mailed to the Chapter at 99 Indian Field Road, Greenwich, CT 06830.
The Greenwich Chapter of the American Red Cross is grateful to our corporate and community partners: Nestle’ Waters North America Inc., Fairfield County Safe Kids, and the Junior League of Greenwich as well as the Greenwich Police Department, Fire Department, GEMS , Student Transportation of America and the Boys & Girls Club for their valuable support.
