Safety Tips

Safe Kids Worldwide provided a list of safety guidelines for parents and children to follow this Halloween.

• Cross streets at corners. Don't just bolt across an intersection.
• Look both ways before crossing
• Carry a glow stick to help drivers see you in the dark.
• Have kids put their electronic devices away.
• Make sure costumes fit appropriately to prevent falls and tripping.
• Whenever possible, go with face paint instead of masks. Masks can obscure a child's vision.
