Student Safety Night is Tonight

1. Bedford PTG offers Student Safety Night is tonight. Bedford parents and caregivers are invited to a student safety night, which is scheduled for Wednesday, April 3 at 6:30 p.m. at McKelvie Intermediate School. The event includes guest speakers from Bedford Police and Bedford Fire Departments, in addition to representatives from the Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) of Hillsborough County, for an event centered on your child's safety. Topics will include public, fire, and Internet safety, as well as many other recommended safety measures to speak about with your children. Education regarding how to recognize when help may be needed will also be addressed. Registration is not required, but due to some of the subject matter, it is NOT recommended that children under 17 years attend the presentation.
