​Community volunteers and parents served as group leaders during Safety Camp. “We couldn't do this event without them,” said EC 5/6 Center Family Resource Center Coordinator, Sharon Brooks. “We want to use this day as a way for students to not only learn about these important safety topics but to meet and interact with these people in our community in a positive way.”
