Buchtel scholars were honored at the last week's Summit County Council Meeting for honorable mention in the Safety Town Video Contest. County Executive Shapiro’s Department of Public Safety identified the need for a new, updated Safety Town video. Every year, hundreds of Summit County kids ages 5-6 participate in Safety Town events throughout the county to learn about safety.
Many communities had stopped using the outdated 9-1-1 video because the old technology in the video, including a rotary phone, was not relevant to today’s children. The public safety staff developed the Safety Town Video Contest to update the video and include the community in the process. Congratulation to the Buchtel team for their hard work.
