Animal Safety Reminder

As the weather warms up, many animals are waking up from their winter sleep and becoming more active in our area. This includes animals like bears.

To help keep everyone safe, please remember:

• Stay alert and pay attention to your surroundings when walking to and from school.
• Travel with a friend whenever possible.
• Make noise (talk, clap, or sing) so animals know you are there.
• Never approach or feed any wildlife.
• If you see a bear or other large animal, stay calm and tell a trusted adult right away.

Let’s all do our part to stay safe and respect the animals that share the environment!
