Safety Town Program

Do you have a child ready to start kindergarten in the fall?  Send your youngster to Safety Town, a popular education program offered each summer. Your child learns safety awareness in a fun and entertaining way using a child-size mock Ann Arbor “town” explored on bikes.                                  

• Each child receives  a free Safety Town T-shirt!  
• The curriculum covers using bike helmets and booster seats, stranger danger, fire safety, riding a school bus, pedestrian safety, etc. Songs, games, stories and art projects reinforce the lessons. 
• Sponsored jointly by the Ann Arbor Police Department and the Ann Arbor Public Schools Community Education & Recreation Department, the goal of the program is to help kids evaluate “safe” from “unsafe” when confronted with potentially dangerous situations.  We are aware of two incidents when Safety Town training helped save the lives of past participants.
• Children entering kindergarten in the fall of 2010 are eligible to attend Safety Town this summer.
  
• The program location is at Lawton Elementary School at 2250 S. Seventh, Ann Arbor, 48103.
• You now get the whole Safety Town Experience in 1 week!
• The  fee is $75, and children will be accepted as long as space is available.
