WAYNE, NJ — Incoming kindergarteners can learn how to stay safe in their homes, schools, and communities at the upcoming Safety Town program in Wayne Township.
There are four one-week sessions this July at Randall Carter Elementary School, and registration is open for children who are eligible for kindergarten in September.
Two Wayne Schools teachers will instruct the students for a week, and encourage them to practice different safety routines while participating in fun activities. Daily presenters at Safety Town include police officers, lifeguards and swim instructors, Wayne bus drivers, EMTs, Firefighters, NJ Transit representatives, and a therapy dog team.
