STAYING SAFE    
Fire Safety
1. Have a family plan in case of a
house fire.
2. Ask Parents about Smoke
Detectors.
3. Have at least one Fire
Extinguisher in your home.
4. Keep flashlight handy for
emergencies.
5. DO NOT play with matches and
lighters.
6. REMEMBER...STOP, DROP AND ROLL.


Traffic Safety
1. Always look both ways before crossing the street.
2.Try to always walk on sidewalks or paths.
3. Never run into the street without stopping — even for a ball, other toy, pet or any other reason.
4. Know and obey traffic signals and signs.
5. Watch for cars that are turning into or backing out of driveways.

BUS SAFETY

* Stay in your seat at all times when the bus is moving.
* DO NOT put your head and arms out the windows when the bus is moving.
* Wait for the bus to come to a full stop before trying to get off the bus.
* If you need to cross the street in front of the bus and you are not with a Bus Aide (that is a person who helps make sure cars stop before you cross), stay at least 10 feet away from the front of the bus so that the driver can watch as you cross. Wait until the driver tells you it is okay to cross. Sometimes traffic does not stop right away and you could get hit by a car, so be sure to check that traffic has stopped before crossing.

Poisons
A poison is something that can hurt you or make you sick when it gets into your body. Poison can get into your body if you eat, drink, touch or smell something that is poisonous.

If you or someone you know gets into a poison, tell an adult right away. The grown-up should call a Poison Control Center. You can call the Poison Control Center for help too if no adult is around to help. The Poison Center can help with all poison emergency calls -- it doesn't even have to be a poison emergency. There is a National toll-free number, 1-800-222-1222 that will connect people all over the US to a nurse, pharmacist or other poison specialist. Over 80% of poison calls can be handled over the phone. The Poison Control Center number should be kept near a telephone in your house, if it isn't, please ask an adult in your home to show you where to find the number.

Strangers
There is only one person that is with you all the time and can be responsible for keeping you safe at all times. THAT PERSON IS YOU! Safety rules need to apply ALL THE TIME, not just when someone who looks bad or scary is around. One of the most common ways that kids get hurt by strangers is when being friendly and helpful to adults who pretend to need help. When you are without your parents or other adult you know, it is your job to protect yourself. It is not your job to offer help to any adults, even if they ask! A grown-up who needs help should get help from another adult, not a child. So remember, looking out for yourself is your biggest job when you are not with your parents or another adult, so you have permission to ignore or refuse adult requests for help.
