Anna’s calendar has filled up this summer! She has spent every morning this past week at Safety Town, a program offered one week each summer by the Junior Auxiliary and Conway Regional for kids entering kindergarten. It focuses on all aspects of safety, including fire, water, stranger, animal, school bus, railroad, traffic, and poison safety. The kids are divided up in classes, kind of like a preschool, and go through several different activities throughout the day. They were visited by the fire department, police department, MEMS, a school bus and driver, and Scratch the therapy dog, among others. And one of the highlights is riding tricycles around the pretend “town” with roads, intersections, and buildings, learning to observe traffic signs and such. This is a great program which has been going on for 17 years and has graduated 2200 kids!
