Safety Town                   Register Your Child For 2009 Session

Safety Town, begun in 1967, is one of the League’s most cherished programs, as well as a Concord tradition. Safety Town has been helping Cabarrus County’s rising kindergarten students learn age-appropriate safety rules. Police officers, area nurses, firefighters and volunteers from the Red Cross help us to teach the children about bus safety, bike rules, fire safety, water safety, stranger danger and good eating habits and hygiene. Safety Town runs two days during the summer, with each child attending a one-day session.

During the half-day camp, students learn age-appropriate safety rules as well as enjoy snacks and recreation. The students are placed in small groups and rotate among the classes taught by local safety professionals.  Students are given handouts and treat bags that reaffirm what they have learned.

Safety Town is held every year during the second week of August at Coltrane-Webb Elementary School. All enrolled rising kindergarten students from Cabarrus County Schools and Concord private schools are given an invitation which is included in their kindergarten registration information packs. Last year, we invited over 1,700 students. The League volunteers work as leaders, keeping students in groups and moving them through various stations. Each summer, approximately 300 students participate in Safety Town.
