Be Safe Out There...

Choose light color costumes & decorate costumes & bags with
reflective tape or stick-ers.
Masks can sometimes obstruct a child’s vision,
try non-toxic face paint & makeup whenever
possible.
Have Kids use glow sticks or flash-
lights to help them see & be seen at night.
Children under the age of 12 should have
adult supervision. If kids are mature enough to be out with-
out supervision, remind them to stay within familiar areas &
trick or treat in groups.
Popular trick-or-treat-ing hours are 5pm -9pm so be especially alert for kids during those hours.
When selecting a costume for a child, make sure it fits to
prevent trips and falls.

FoodCorps is an organization that connects kids to healthy food in school. I currently serve at Moencopi Day School where I help teach hands on lessons in gardening, nutrition, and cooking. My goal is for the students to taste fresh vegetables in the garden, learn recipes using those vegetables, and to be excited about sharing the information they learned with their families.
