Some of the topics covered are safety around strangers, fire, water, buses, poison and traffic. Children will have an opportunity to learn through experiences in the Safety Town village, a field trip to the West Des Moines Police and Fire Departments and various classroom activities. Safety Town is offered to children entering kindergarten the Fall of 2009 in the WDMCSD. Space may be limited.
