School’s out, safety’s in: Share summertime safety tips

Summer means warmer weather, sunnier days and lots of outdoor activities. This means parents have a lot of topics to discuss with their children before sending them out to play.

Spend some time to teach your children what you’ve learned about summer safety. More information is available at http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/welcome/summer.html.

And when you do let them out to play, remind them not to play in or near the street, and to never approach a postal vehicle that is attempting to make a delivery (or any vehicle).

Postal drivers know that summertime means being even more on guard for children playing outdoors. Be aware of all pedestrians in general. Approximately three out of every 10 persons killed in traffic accidents each year are pedestrians.
