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.
Registrations can be completed on a first come, first served basis beginning April 15, 2019 at nridgeville.org/parksandrec or at the Parks & Recreation Office, Monday-Friday from 8 AM-4:30 PM. Cost is $25.00 per child which covers all classroom material, instruction and a Safetyville t-shirt. Payment is due upon registration.
If you have any questions
regarding the program, please call Patrolman Calvin Cross or Somer Oliva in the
North Ridgeville Police Department at (440) 353-0799.
