Registration
Open for Safety Town 2012
From:
http://vernon.patch.com/blog_posts/registration-open-for-safety-town-2012
The Vernon
Junior Women's Club
and the Vernon
Police Department
are sponsoring the 41st year of Safety Town for
children entering kindergarten this fall.
Safety Town is a
one-week class where pre-kindergarten children receive
safety instruction in preparation for elementary
school. The program, conducted by Vernon Junior Women's
Club and taught by a state-certified elementary school
teacher, runs for two weeks this summer. The program
touches on traffic safety, fire safety, bus safety,
bicycle safety, an awareness of the dangers of poisons
and medicines, and awareness of strangers. Activities
include using a 911 simulator to learn how to call for
help in emergencies, riding the Big Wheels around the
"safety town" to practice recognizing street
signs, and taking a short ride on a real school bus.
This year, Safety Town
will be conducted at Lake Street School in Vernon. The
sessions will be held July 9-13 and July 16-20. The
morning session is 8:30am-10:30am and the afternoon
session is 11am-1pm. Registration costs $20 per child.
Registration forms were
included in the Vernon kindergarten registration
packets. But if you need forms, or have any other
questions, please contact Christine
Brouillard at cebrouillard@gmail.com or call
860-604-1919. We look forward to seeing you at Safety
Town!

Council.
We are a collaboration of people and organizations interested
in early childhood learning. Our goals include sharing information and
creating a strong advocacy group for our community's needs. The

activities and events that help provide families with
resources regarding the transitions that
occur during early childhood through second grade.
The Council consists of members of various service agencies
throughout town, as well as parent volunteers.
The Council
meets regularly to plan and develop
initiatives.
