EVIT Law students teach Halloween safety

Three, four and five year old Head Start students took a field trip to the opposite side of the East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT) campus to learn about Halloween safety from EVIT Law Enforcement students.

The children viewed a slideshow featuring the importance of wearing properly fitted, flame-retardant costumes, as well as candy and Trick-Treating safety. The Law students gave them glow sticks and reminded them to use them as flashlights. Above all, they learned that they must stay with an adult, older sibling, or group when Trick-or-Treating on Halloween or any festival event.

Head Start students were greeted by McGruff, the crime dog and were given coloring books, balloons and candy.

Finally they got to crawl into a police replica squad car to see firsthand what it looks like inside, while the Law students explained all the features,

It was a great reminder to the children to stay safe during the Halloween festivities this weekend.
