Kids’ safety program planned in Howland

HOWLAND

The fire department will host a safety town child accident prevention program for preschool children.

Howland Springs School will host Safety Town the week of June 7. The Howland Glen school will host the program the week of June 14. Sessions run from 9 a.m. until noon Monday through Friday. A graduation ceremony will be held the last day of each event.
