Safety Education
Well it is
that time of year again! The bulbs are being planted, the lawn will
soon be mowed, and the Safety City instructors are getting ready for
students zipping by on bikes. |
|||
| Before we started getting ready for Bike Safety, we wrapped up our last in-school program of the year, Outdoor Play. This program was a great way to remind students how to stay safe as they start to head outdoors. The program is based on the “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” game and proved to excite the students as they answered questions to arrive at a million points! See if you can answer the 1,000,000 point question! Look for it on the back page! | ||||

| AGM Report 2003 On the evening of February 27, Safety City held its Annual General Meeting at the Henderson Lake Golf Club. With a great turnout, guest speakers, and artwork it became an event to be remembered! Over the past several months Safety City has experienced some financial turmoil. Not knowing what was to happen, we asked several guest speakers to come and speak to our guests and donors as to why Safety City is important. Sue Howg, a grade 2 teacher at Senator Buchanan School, got the whole school involved in creating posters and booklets with student’s opinions and thoughts on Safety City. They even coined the phrase, “S.O.S.C. - Save Our Safety City!” Her husband, Marlin Howg, a grade 3 teacher at Lakeview School, did the same at his school. After dinner he karaoked a song the students had written about why Safety City should stay. It brought tears to many eyes that night. The next to speak was Mathias and his mom, Susan Fikre, who shared their perspective as a student and parent. Mathias spoke about how fun Safety City is when we come into the classroom and how much the students learn. Susan talked about her appreciation for Safety City as it supports much of what parents teach their children, and how helpful it is for students to hear it from another source other than parents and teachers all the time! A HUGE thank you goes out to Susan, and Marlin, Mathias and Susan for telling it like it is, supporting Safety City, and bringing color and artwork from the students of Lakeview and Senator Buchanan schools! We also pulled out some new chairs for new faces that joined our Board, and took care of Annual business that night. We would like to welcome Pat Skelly as secretary, Jody Vanee, and Scott Morgan as Directors as all three are new faces to the Safety City Board of Directors. Thank you to Dan Vas, for his many years of service on the Board as Secretary. We are happy to see that he will still remain as a Director on the Board. Jack Fulwiler, Bryan Magyar, Jack Chapman, Keith Robin, and Joe Gillett remain in their seats! For more information on any of these events, or you just want to chat about all the things we do, call us at 317-1955 or email Patti Caven at Patti@theboss.net
