*****************************************

In early April, Coronado was reminded of the importance of teaching our kids stranger safety when two local students were victims of an attempted kidnapping.

SAFE is proud to have played a role in conjunction with the local Coronado schools and parents in equipping these students with the necessary tools to return home safely. Through our on-campus program, On Applebee Pond, these kids learned valuable life-skills that they were able to utilize in order to stay safe. This program currently runs in 8 local Coronado schools for students ages pre-K through 3rd Grade.

Practicing and reviewing these materials at home are an important factor in ingraining stranger safety into your child’s skillset.

Parents will:

· Gain insight on the lessons that your kid is learning at school through On Applebee Pond

· Receive key conversations starters to talk to your child about stranger awareness

· Get the facts & figures on statistics regarding child abductions

· Learn industry accepted stranger safety tips for kids ages 0—18

· Attain resource materials and reference sites to help keep your kids safe
