North Ridgeville Safetyville
The North Ridgeville Police Department is sponsoring its annual Safetyville program. The program provides an educational setting in which children are exposed to various safety topics with regard to traffic, school bus, bicycle and pedestrian activity, stranger danger, 911, and drug, gun, and fire safety. The children receive their lessons inside an enclosed classroom and then practice these lessons inside a realistic miniature village that is adjacent to the classroom. The miniature village includes streets, sidewalks, a working traffic light, railroad crossing, and several miniature replica buildings.
Safetyville is designed for children entering Kindergarten in the fall, but it is not a pre-requisite for Kindergarten. It is open to North Ridgeville residents and non-residents are welcome to attend as well. Classes are set up as one week sessions, Monday through Friday, for one and half hours each day. Cost is $25.00 per child which covers all classroom material, instruction and a Safetyville t-shirt. Payment is due upon registration.
Registration for this year's program will take place at the North Ridgeville Police Department, at 7307 Avon Belden Rd (SR 83) beginning Saturday, February 20. All registrations are on a first-come, first-served basis.
