Mr. and Mr. Claus visit Springfield children

 

Catching up on Santas visit to the children of Springfield Township this year. It was a special visit as the Jolly Man brought Mrs.Claus. It was difficult for her to leave her responsibilities at the North Pole but she asked for backup from the head elf. Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived by fire truck with Springfield Township's Fire Department bringing them in safely.

It was a fun time for all families. Some sat on Santa's lap, some sat on Mrs. Claus' knee. Some just stood back and took in the excitement of the other children. 

The tree and light display along the lake was lit by the red suited man and then the
crowd went inside Town Hall, sat Santa and Mrs. Claus as many lined up to speak with them. Hot cocoa and cookies were served and an ensemble from Springfield Band played wonderful renditions of Christmas songs.

Kids Learn Safety Tips at Safety Town

Students that began their kindergarten year were eligble to attend this year's Safety Town in August.

It is organized by the Springfield Police Department with support of all Springfield and Lakemore Safety Services, Akron Coach, Springfield Schools and on site was GASP (Guardians Advocating Child Safety and Protection).

Students are taught about bus safety and take a ride on a school bus. They learn about crossing the road when the bus driver gives the go ahead. They learn not to touch guns in the house, what to do in a fire, how a tow truck works and what everyone's job is in these safety forces.

This year the kids rode the bus to Springfield Town Hall where they learned about the fire and police departments. 

They road tricycles on the "town map" learning road safety and sidewalk safety. 

Kids learned so much more. Each school year parents have an opportunity to enroll their kindergartener in Safety Town when registering them for their first year of school at Springfield Local Schools.

Here are some pictures of the three days of fun safety learning.
