Do you have a child ready to start kindergarten in the fall of 2013?

2013 Summer Camps

Don’t miss Safety Town where your child learns safety awareness in a fun and entertaining way using a child-size mock Ann Arbor “town” explored on bikes. The curriculum covers bike helmets and booster seats, stranger danger, fire safety, riding a school bus, pedestrian safety, etc. Songs, games, stories and art projects reinforce the lessons. Guest speakers include: Buster the Bus”, AAPS’ own talking school bus, “Andy the Ambulance” HVA’s talking ambulance, Police officers, Firefighters, Healthcare workers and Safety experts from the Washtenaw County Coalition. The 2013 program is sponsored by Rec&Ed in cooperation with the Ann Arbor Police Department. The goal is to help kids evaluate “safe” from “unsafe” when confronted with potentially dangerous situations. We are aware of two incidents when Safety Town training helped save the lives of past participants! Students can be placed with friends as long as registration forms are submitted together and a special request is listed on the forms. In most cases we are able to place children with others attending their school. Please plan on staying with your child for a few minutes the first day to meet the teacher. Scholarships are available for those who financially qualify. The last day of each session is a graduation ceremony. Parents are invited to attend the brief ceremony, after which children are dismissed. Sign up for our Safety Town & Camp Combination, which provides a wrap-around program Monday-Friday from 7:30am to 5:30pm. Safety Town is located at Dicken Elementary School, 2135 Runnymeade, Ann Arbor.
