Village Voice: School's out and the kids are outside

Ask any student what was most important about May 24 this year, and the answer will probably come faster than lightning: “It was the first day of summer vacation!”

The rest of us know what that means – seeing kids out and about throughout the day.

There will be more children walking, biking and playing outside during daylight hours.

Some popular paths kids may use are to the library for summer reading club, the park for various summer activities and downtown for ice cream.

Eyes and ears will be the most important tools we all have over the next few months.

Encourage your children to stay aware of their surroundings by looking before they bike or walk into the street. If your child reports something suspicious to you, do not hesitate to contact the Ada Police Department with details. Also, if you see something suspicious, contact the Ada Police Department.

Use extra caution when driving around Ada. Children may not always look both ways before attempting to cross a street, or they may be so focused on getting their ball back that they dodge out into the streets.

Let’s make this a great, safe summer!
Happy summer vacation!
