Safety Town

This past week I volunteered as a teacher with a program called Safety Town. The program is organized by the Junior Auxiliary of Conway and funded by Conway Regional. Safety Town is offered to local children who will start kindergarten in the fall. Throughout the week the children are taught various safety rules such as dialing "911", fire safety, stranger danger, ambulance and police safety, seat belt safety, etc. We also worked with the kids frequently to learn their phone numbers and addresses in case of any emergency. Our class was known as the Yellow Ducks. The kids were great and very eager to learn! Although I had a great time getting out of the house and being around other adults, one thing is for sure......I have no desire to be a kindergarten teacher! ;)

Edmond stayed down the hall in the "Tiny Tots" class. He did a lot better than I expected and I was able to check on him periodically. This will hopefully help prepare him for Mother's Day Out.

Check out the article that was in the Log Cabin Democrat regarding this wonderful program!
