Play it Safe

Play it Safe: Back to SchoolAs a new school year begins, make sure your children:

  • Wear seat belts in the car and hel­mets when rid­ing bikes.
  • Mem­o­rize key phone num­bers, espe­cial­ly since cell phones dial them for you!
  • Care­ful­ly cross inter­sec­tions, watch­ing for cars and bus­es and not dart­ing into the street.
  • Walk a safe route to school and to the bus stop. Try a prac­tice trip with them before school starts and look for safe­ty haz­ards along the way.
  • Nev­er climb pow­er poles and always stay clear of downed pow­er lines!
