Safety Town is back in full swing

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — To teach children the importance and proper methods of safety, Safety Town will be held until Thursday, July 10.
The safety-based program is run by the St. Joseph Safety and Health Council and is offered to kids between the ages of 5-7.
Safety officials like law enforcement officers, firefighters and water patrol will be brought in to teach kids about different safety tactics.
“I went here when I was a kid,” said Meredith Fite, a volunteer. “And I know that it’s really beneficial for all the children. And I really just enjoy being around children myself. So I think that it’s just a good way to be a part of the community and help.”
News-Press NOW’s own Storm Tracker Weather Team will also be participating in Safety Town sessions to keep kids weather-ready.
Safety Town is held in four one-week sessions. All sessions will run from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Keatley Center, located at 1202 S 28th St.
