Kids learn in program how to safely stay home alone

Due to public interest, Hodges Community Center is offering a second Home Alone Safety Training for youth and teens Saturday, June 1, 2019, from 10:00 a.m. to Noon. This training will inform kids about basic first-aid tips, what to do when strangers come to the door, answering the telephone, and how to react during a variety of miscellaneous emergencies such as power outages and fires. Through learning and acting-out situations, your child will have the guidelines to stay home alone once parents determine their child is ready. Each child will receive a booklet with information covered in the class to take home as a guide for continued learning with their parents. Cost is $15 per child, and registration is required by noon on Friday, May 31. Online registration is available at www.playlubbock.com.
