What is Safety City?
Westerville Safety City is a program designed to teach students entering kindergarten in the fall about a variety of safety issues. Each student is taught basic rules of traffic and pedestrian safety, fire prevention, school bus safety, poison control, gun safety, water safety, and stranger awareness. The program is operated by a non-profit organization. This organization coordinates the cooperative efforts of a variety of Westerville entities including the Westerville Divisions of Fire, Police and Communications. The Westerville City Schools participate by allowing the use of their facilities for the program. Part of the program focuses on Safety Town. Safety Town consists of miniature streets with crosswalks, traffic lights and familiar buildings such as the library, schools, and stores. The students ride tricycles as vehicles throughout the town while they practice their safety rules. Upon completion of the program, each student receives a Certificate of Achievement and participates in a graduation ceremony.
