Presentations & Workshops
Research shows that "best
practice" traffic safety education in schools requires continuous,
age appropriate, and sequential education be delivered in
every grade level during every school year. Parents/caregivers and teachers work together to provide classroom and real environment experiences, and the lessons are reinforced through hands-on
activities that encourage students to learn and retain the safety skills with their families.
Our School/Community presentations are offered free-of-charge and last between 30-45 minutes. Programs are age and grade appropriate, material is presented in a classroom environment utilizing visuals and a short video, and a question-and-answer period reinforces the material.
