🔥 Fire Prevention Week is October 5-11, 2025!
Lithium-ion batteries power many of the devices we use every day, including e-bikes. 🚲 But if they’re damaged, overcharged, or not stored properly, they can cause dangerous fires.

The children of the Before & After School Program created artwork to help remind us that safety starts at home. Always charge responsibly, follow manufacturer guidelines, and never leave batteries unattended while charging. Together we can prevent tragedies and keep our families safe.

🍂 Fall is Tick Season! 🍂
Cooler weather and colorful leaves don’t stop ticks. These pests remain active until the ground freezes, and Lyme disease remains a risk.

✅ Use insect repellent with DEET or permethrin-treated clothing
✅ Check yourself, your children, and pets after outdoor activities
✅ Shower soon after coming indoors
