East Haddam Youth & Family Services will be sponsoring a Safe Home Alone Readiness Program (SHARP) presented by Mindy Johnston.
The program will be held in the Nathan Hale-Ray Middle School Library on Tuesday evenings, November 12th, 19th and 26th, for children ages 10 and older.
Through role-playing and other hands-on activities, children will learn basic safety information vital to being home alone. Guest speakers from local police and fire departments will be attending to teach children about fire, medical and personal safety tips, as well as answer any questions or concerns they may have.
The first two classes will be held from 5:00 - 6:30 p.m., and the graduation ceremony on the last day will be held from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m.
At least one parent will be required to attend the graduation.
Class size is limited and registration is required. To register, contact East Haddam Youth & Family Services (EHYFS) at 860-873-3296.
