Safety Kid at YOSS

Last Thrusday, YOSS reintroduced our Safety Kid program thanks to the efforts of our dedicated parents who trained and volunteered to provide a most valuable message. We utilized this established program in the past with great success.

We would like to thank Mrs. Riva Ratner for coordinating the program together with Mrs. Yonina Wind and Mrs. Sori Laufer. They gave their time to work directly with the children of grades 1 through 5 about very important safety information as we head into the summer months. Some of the topics discussed included understanding how and who to ask for help, creating buddy systems, situational awareness, how to ensure safety in various scenarios, knowing who to reach out to in case of emergency, and the like.

These important topics were delivered in a very sensitive and calming manner. The boys were very receptive to the mes- sages given over and took it seriously.

This is a wonderful program used across the country, originally developed by the Los Angeles Halachic Advisory Board (HAB) and endorsed my many mosdos and rabbanim throughout the country.

May Hashem continue to give us siyata d’shmaya in keeping our children safe!
