- On June 14, “Day 4 at Safety Town has come to an end and we are excited for the graduation ceremony this afternoon! Today, the students had an amazing opportunity to explore the various roles of Police Officers and the fascinating tools they use. They were introduced to Jaskey, our incredible Police K9, and even had the chance to hop into Bearcat, the vehicle used by the Tactical Team. Additionally, they learned about the crucial importance of Gun Safety, while Chief Sgambellone captivated them with a book on safety. To conclude the day, the students honed their bike riding skills at Safety Town, ensuring they are well-prepared for any future adventures on two wheels.”
- On June 17, “Safety Town Graduation on June 14th was a hit! Parents got to come in and see their children sing ‘Twinkle Twinkle Traffic Light’, ‘Stop, Look, and Listen’, and ‘I’m a Police Officer’. Students watched a slide show showcasing their week at Safety Town and received their Certificates. We would like extend a big thank you to our sponsors, Century Bank, who donated the helmets for the students and Remaxx First- Kristy Ortega who donated the new bikes utilized in Safety Town. Until next year friends! Remember to stay safe!”
