Teddy and Tia's Northern S.T.A.R.S. Safety Village is a grant and sponsorship funded project that will provide a place where children learn real life strategies for dealing with emergencies while developing a positive attitude towards safety. Teddy and Tia's Northern S.T.A.R.S. Safety Village will combine traditional classroom education methods with unique interactive experiences in a realistic child-sized townscape. Children participate in activities designed to build self-confidence and strengthen their ability to make safe decisions. Students then have the opportunity to practice a variety of their newly learned safety skills in a safe environment, complete with 5/8th scale replicas of local buildings, roads with realistic pavement markings, traffic signals and street signs.
