Fun and enriching presentations by knowledgeable instructors will give you the information necessary to provide safer surroundings for your children. Kids was created in response to this realization and is taught in local 5th grade classrooms through an interactive 10-week curriculum. Each chapter focuses on a topic that specifically affects the well being of children. Volunteers teach the class in an open format encouraging group discussion and feedback. Topics such as gun safety, Internet safety, personal safety, violence prevention, decision making, occupant restraint, water safety, emergency medical situations, pedestrian safety, and outdoor recreational safety are discussed.
Kids is an exceptional opportunity for both business partners and students to learn together.
Corporate sponsorships often make the difference in creating active, hands-on learning experiences in many schools. Youngsters welcome the change in daily schedules and always have smiles of encouragement for classroom volunteers. This program is for the adult children of senior citizens or for seniors themselves. Falls kill 29 seniors each day, and 240,000 people over the age of 50 will suffer hip fractures as a result of a fall. One of ten seniors who fall will be hospitalized, and half of those hospitalized will never be able to live independently again.
