Meeting once each quarter, members learn about important safety topics such as poison awareness, seatbelt safety, bike and scooter safety, fire safety, and more. Together, the Safety Pals create fun ways to share these safety messages with their classmates—through posters, skits, announcements, or classroom activities.

    By joining the Safety Pals Club, students become role models who help spread smart safety habits across the school. The club encourages teamwork, creativity, and leadership while making sure everyone knows how to stay safe at school, at home, and in the community.
