Nearly 50 children attended the Home Safe program
sponsored by the Phelps County Safe Communities Coalition and the YMCA
of the Prairie. Those in attendance learned basic safety, particularly
while they are home alone. Informational sessions included safe routes
to and from school, interactions with strangers, when to call 911,
bicycle safety, answering the phone and door, internet safety, kitchen
safety, poison prevention and basic first aid. |
