🚦 Belpre Safetytown Day 8 Recap🚦

Today’s safety rule was “Stop, Look, and Listen” — and our students put it into action during our annual Safety Walk from Belpre Elementary to Washington Blvd! They practiced crossing safely at the traffic lights and showed off everything they've learned over the past two weeks.

During snack time, the fun continued with a sweet hands-on activity — the kids made their own edible traffic lights*l using graham crackers, icing, and M&M’s. They were both creative and delicious! 😋

🎓 Don’t forget! Our Safetytown Graduation will take place tomorrow at 9:15 AM at Belpre Elementary. We are so proud of our students and all they’ve accomplished during this exciting and educational journey. Way to go, future safety stars! 🌟
