Safety Town Is Back

If your child is entering Kindergarten in September, then you won't want him or her to miss this week-long event held in Scarsdale on the mornings of June 13 - 17.  The Junior League of Central Westchester's Safety Town is a comprehensive educational program that introduces safety awareness and accident prevention to children entering Kindergarten in September 2011. Topics covered by the five morning Safety Town program include:

• 911 and police
• poison and first aid
• fire
• traffic lights
• stranger, water, tricycle and bus safety

Learning through participation: Under the guidance of a police officer, a fire fighter, lifeguards, SVAC volunteers and other community volunteers, the children will prepare for real life situations.

Safety Town will be a half-day mini-camp held the mornings of June 13-17 at Scarsdale Synagogue Temples Tremont and Emanu-El, 2 Ogden Road, Scarsdale, NY 10583.

Children of Central Westchester (Eastchester, Greenburgh, Scarsdale and White Plains) residents who are eligible to begin Kindergarten in September 2011 may enroll. Non-Central Westchester residents whose children are currently enrolled in Central Westchester pre-schools are also eligible.

Safety Town is sponsored by Scarsdale Security Systems. Other sponsors include State Farm Insurance, Vivian Lem, Houlihan Lawrence, Clean Design, and The Melting Pot – White Plains.

The course fee is $150.  To register your child, call Michelle at the JLCW office at 723-6130 or visit the website at JLcentralwestchester.org.
