2023 Safety Town 


Safety Town is a five-day summer educational program that instructs children on crossing the street safely, school bus safety, the use of 911, stranger danger, the work of police officers and firefighters, bicycle safety, good touch/bad touch, online safety, water safety and more.  The serious subject of safety is combined with crafts, activities, songs and lots of fun and there is no fee to participate.  

Registration forms for Fairlawn Safety Town are now available and will be accepted from April 1st, until May 31st, unless maximum capacity is reached prior to this date.  Please note that no registration forms will be accepted after May 31st.
