Safety Town 

Safety Town is a safety awareness program held each summer for children who will be entering kindergarten or first grade in the fall.  Each day, the program explores a different safety topic, including stranger awareness, water safety, fire safety, pedestrian and bicycle safety, animal safety and school bus safety.  All Safety Town instructors are state-certified elementary school teachers.  In December 2006, the New Albany Chamber of Commerce recognized Safety Town as its Community Program of the Year.  The Safety Town Program was launched with the support of Key Bank and the New Albany Community  Foundation.  

Since the program began in 2004, more than 1,100 children have graduated and the 2008 class set a record with 315 graduates.
