Safe Kids Safety Trunks

New educational and interactive teaching tools are now available for check out. The Safe Kids Safety Trunks were developed to provide the community with resources with which to start a dialogue about safety with children, preschool through middle school.   

The injury risk areas focus on child passenger safety, pedestrian safety, bicycle/helmet safety and fire safety. Learning about injury prevention in a fun, interactive manner through the teaching tools and lesson plans provided will hopefully get kids to use better judgment, practice safe behaviors and understand the benefits of safety devices.
