Many of the safety tips you use every day were introduced to third graders Tuesday at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds in Luxemburg as a part of the annual Kewaunee County Safety Days. Over 300 third-graders from the county’s public and private schools rotated through 15 different stations highlighting safety tips covering several different activities with different agencies.
Aerica Bjurstrom from UW-Extension Kewaunee County says the joint venture with the Kewaunee County Public Health Department is an important one as they target a group of kids that may be experiencing a little more freedom for the first time.
According to HealthPartners.com, falls, accidental impacts, motor vehicles, cuts or puncture wounds, bites and stings, foreign bodies, and burns are the seven most common childhood injuries.
