Once on the disabled list, the animated Buster the Bus was back in business
More than 500 rising kindergarten students are now more safety savvy thanks to their participation in Rec & Ed’s annual Safety Town. Held in weekly half-day sessions over the past three weeks, Safety Town is one of Rec & Ed’s most popular summer educational programs as children learn safety awareness in a fun and entertaining way.
Guest speakers include police officers, police officers, firefighters, “Louie the Lightning Bug,” representatives from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, water safety specialists and more. Songs, games, stories and art projects reinforce the lessons about animal safety, bike, pedestrian and vehicle safety, water safety, First Responder safety, and more.
Using a child-sized mock Ann Arbor “town” explored on tricycles, children learned how to distinguish the difference between safe and unsafe when confronted with potentially dangerous situations.
Buster the Bus was back from the disabled list this year to engage the children in song and lessons about bus safety.
