Traffic, Scooter, Bike & Pedestrian Safety (all ages)
These trainings accurately simulates real life traffic situations. Teaching students in this way promotes information retention, which when applied, can save the life of anyone who walks, bikes, or drives. This course starts as early as Pre-K, advances with each grade, and builds on the previous year.
