TROY, MI) – Troy Parks & Recreation is
offering its popular Safety Town program this summer. Classes take place at Martell Elementary
School on Livernois Road just south of Square Lake
Road. The four-day sessions vary from
June 22 through August 9 and run from 9 am-2:30 pm.
Two Safety Town levels are
offered. Safety Town I is for kids entering kindergarten in the fall. Class members will learn the rules of the
road in the mock Safety Town. Fire,
electrical, playground, prescription drugs, household and stranger safety are
covered. Videos, songs, a fieldtrip (bus
safety) and visits from the fire and police department pack the fast-paced
week.
Safety
Town II is for kids
entering first grade. It will reinforce
the safety habits learned from Safety Town I along with learning new topics
about water and gun safety, who to allow in your safe side circle, and how not
to fall for tricks. The mock town will
be used to refresh the road rules of railroad
crossings, stop signs and traffic lights.
"Safety Town Martell" is a
mock city complete with miniature buildings, streets, signs, a stoplight, a
railroad crossing, and tricycles the children ride. Children must bring their bicycle helmet,
snack, water bottle and sack lunch daily.
Sessions are offered throughout the
summer. The fee is $88 for residents and
$93 for non-residents. For
