A warm thank you to those who attended the 21st Annual Tortoise and Hare 5K Race! It was a beautiful day and a great race!
Now that summer is here, please be sure not to leave your children or your pets alone in your car. The summer sun can turn your car into an oven in minutes!
And also.... think water safety!
The sad truth about drowning is every kid is at risk — even if they know how to swim. Young children can drown silently in as little as 25 seconds, even in the shallow end, or in the baby pool; Most children drown because their parents turn their head for just a second or have no idea that their child is even near the water.
Ignore your phone. Just the short amount of time it takes to check a text message is enough time for your child to disappear from view and disappear in the water. Consider stowing your phone our of reach to decrease temptation to use it.
