AFBEA Educator Winter 2010
President’s Message:
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I wish you all the best of the season and happiness, health and many successes in the New Year! I hope you’ll be highly visible during the holidays reminding your communities to be safe. Ladder safety, electrical hazards, trees, candles and fireplaces are all timely topics as citizens “deck-the-halls”. It’s also a good time to get the word out about age-appropriate toys and reminders about bike and sports helmets and other safety gear. On-the-road safety is important as the holidays bring out the worst in drivers who are more likely to be driving fatigued, stressed and perhaps with a drink or two under their belts. Reminders about seatbelts, child passenger restraints, courtesy behind the wheel and designated drivers are always timely.
