What are LifeSmarts SSAs saying?
“The teachers and administrators at the school were very pleased
and the kids enjoyed it.”
Emma Shepard, Virginia
“Teaching these bright kids about being
active was a great way to be active
myself with in my community. Working
towards common goals of wellness and
health within our body and mind.”
Blake McCoy, Indiana
“Safety Smarts is the best thing I have come across in a while. Not
only is this program a fun way to learn, but it teaches kids at a young
age about the world around them and how to take care of it. The way
the lesson is set up brings the fundamentals to a level where even
the smallest child can understand.” Chelsea Welch, Louisiana
“In each of the Safety Smart experiences that I had, not only was I able
to pass on the information to the students, but I learned a lot too.”
Hayley Johnson, Minnesota
